Abstract
Objective: To compare three different surgical techniques for chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH), one of the most common neurosurgical diseases increasingly affecting the elderly, and for which there is no standard treatment currently.
Material and Methods: We included 28 patients diagnosed with CSDH and retrospectively analysed their data. The surgical techniques were compared to subgroups of the burr-hole craniostomy technique.
Results: The mean age of included patients was 72.71 ± 10.81 years, and the male/female ratio was 2/5. Preoperative subdural hematoma volume was 113.63 ± 40.74 cc, and the Hounsfield unit value was 33.66 ± 8.67 HU. The mean operative time was 60.89 ± 20.04 min, and the mean hospital stay was 6.17 ± 2.56 days. Detectable radiologic complete recovery was 42.69 ± 17.46 days.
Conclusion: All surgery subgroups experienced successful outcomes during long-term follow-up. The irrigation technique demonstrated no superiority to the other two techniques and the complication rate was significantly lower with the endoscopic technique
