THE EFFECTS OF SURGERY FOR SUPRATENTORIAL INTRACEREBRAL HEMORRHAGE
The benefits of surgery for supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage (STICH) are still not conclusive.

Despite the wide acceptance, the concept is still unclear to many and differences continue on its justification and practice guidelines.
