<jats:title>BACKGROUND</jats:title>
<jats:p>Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage is a neurological condition with high rates of morbidity and mortality, which is treated by various surgical techniques that seek minimal parenchymal distortion and maximum evacuation of the hematoma.</jats:p>

<jats:title>OBSERVATIONS</jats:title>
<jats:p>The advancement of technology has allowed the development of minimally invasive techniques, but the high cost of its equipment is a limitation for its practice in developing countries or third world countries. A new technique called MEP-BA by its acronym in Spanish (microscope, polypropylene endoport and Foley catheter, bipolar forceps and aspiration) is presented, which seeks optimal results with low-cost materials through a polypropylene endoport with a sterile disposable syringe and Foley catheter, allowing the creation of transcortical or transsulcal corridors for the total evacuation of the hematoma.</jats:p>

<jats:p>The neurosurgeon must be a creator and innovator of neurosurgical techniques and equipment that allow procedures to be reproducible worldwide. The MEP-BA technique provides low-cost access through which it allows the use of aspiration and coagulation devices, minimizing brain damage and maximizing the safety and efficacy of intracerebral hematoma evacuation.</jats:p>
