Efficacy of Burrhole Craniostomy in Chronic Subdural Hematoma. A Retrospective 9-Year Study

Objective: To demonstrate the effectiveness, possible complications, and difference of Burr-hole craniostomy surgical technique applied to patients diagnosed with chronic subdural hematoma from other techniques. Methods: The techniques postoperative clinical radiological details 36 who were operated on diagnosis in Neurosurgery Clinic Ordu University Training Research Hospital between 01.01.2013 15.08.2022 retrospectively analyzed. In all post-op period, control brain CT was taken within first 24 hours compared pre-op CT. Again, at end 1st, 2nd week 1st month, for GCS scores. After determining treatment results these complications examined. Results: One patient Burr-Hole developed motor dysphasia intraparenchymal hemorrhage detected tomography this patient. . Post-op underwent burr-hole significantly better than results, recurrence rate low, consistent literature. All drains placed area after burr hole opened during operation removed before discharge. Conclusions: Although drainage bur-hole has a higher craniotomy method, it lower complication is more easily applicable technique. our study, some important points about burrhole cSDH evacuation highlighted. It observed that had reoperation rates craniotomy. We think presence residual controls performed period should not be sole criterion re-operation. are sufficient if there improvement neurological status score follow-up.
