چکیده
Aim: To compare two most common operative procedures used in patients with chronic subdural hematomas Twist drill craniostomy and Burr Hole Craniostomy. Material and Methods: The study was a prospective randomized controlled trial on patients with chronic subdural hematomas. Results: Both procedures are comparable with respect to outcome but surgical duration is statistically higher in Burr Hole craniostomy than Twist Drill Craniostomy. Conclusion: Twist Drill Craniostomy is procedure of choice in emergency surgical situation.

Introduction: An emerging treatment for chronic subdural hematomas is subdural craniostomy using a twist drill port system. While this system has the advantage of being placed in the intensive care setting, and not the operating room, incomplete hematoma evacuation is not uncommon. We detail a simple surgical technique that can be used for persistent or recurrent collections. Materials and Meth...

OBJECTIVE Although twist-drill craniostomy (TDC) has a number of procedural advantages and an equivalent outcome compared to burr hole craniostomy (BHC) for the treatment of chronic subdural hematomas (CSDHs), the latter technique remains the preferred method. We analyzed symptomatic CSDHs in whom TDC at the pre-coronal suture entry point (PCSEP) was the primary method for hematoma drainage and...

hematomas were surgically treated and analyzed prospectively. Cases were classified according to the clinical conditions and computed tomography images. Results of the cases that underwent burr-hole craniostomy–irrigation (group A; n 1⁄4 35) were compared with those undergoing burr-hole craniostomy–closed system drainage (group B; n 1⁄4 35). The most frequent etiological factor was trauma in bo...
