Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery (RA-MIS) has emerged as a novel technique that may offer advantages over traditional craniotomy. This study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy of RA-MIS compared to conventional craniotomy in patients with ICH.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving 44 patients with ICH admitted to two medical centers between December 1, 2022, and October 31, 2024. Patients were divided into two groups: 24 underwent RA-MIS, and 20 underwent traditional craniotomy. Baseline characteristics, functional outcomes [modified Rankin Scale (mRS)], neurological deficits [National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)], postoperative complications, hospitalization costs, duration of respiratory support, and mortality rates were analyzed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The RA-MIS group demonstrated significantly better functional outcomes at 90 days postoperative, with a mean mRS score of 2.58 \u00b1 1.72 compared to 3.85 \u00b1 1.63 in the craniotomy group (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.017).
