Abstract

Chronic subdural hematoma is a common condition of the neurosurgical department requiring surgical intervention. This is a retrospective study of Fifty cases of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) patients treated at SGT Medical College, Hospital, and Research Institute were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into three groups based on the surgical technique performed: single bur-hole drainage (group A, n=40), double bur-hole drainage (group B, n=5), or craniostomy[Twist drill] with evacuation of hematoma (group C, n=5). The results of this study shows that craniostomy[Twist drill] with the evacuation of hematoma in CSDH patients significantly reduced the risk of recurrence, regardless of the number of burr holes used. We, therefore, recommend the use of craniostomy[Twist drill] with the evacuation of hematoma in CSDH patients.
