Abstract
Background: Chronic subdural hematoma can cause compression of brain tissue followed by neurological deficits. There are several methods for the treatment of chronic subdural hematoma, but the most appropriate treatment is still controversial. we compared 5 different surgical methods applied by five different surgeons in a single center and we suggest the most appropriate treatment method in the literature. Methods: In this study, the files of patients diagnosed with chronic subdural hematoma who underwent surgery at the Neurosurgery Clinic of S.B.U. Bursa City Hospital were retrospectively examined. The patients were evaluated in terms of their complaints, neurological examinations, type of operation, use of subdural drain and postoperative complications. Five different surgical techniques were applied to the patients. Results: We collected data from 185 patients who underwent surgery due to chronic subdural hematoma. Different surgical techniques were used in the treatment of patients. Only one burr hole was opened in 22 of the patients, one burr hole was opened in 40 of them and 1 drain was placed in the subdural space, only two burr holes were opened in 41 of them, two burr holes were opened in 58 of them and 1 drain was placed in the subdural space, and mini craniotomy was performed in 24 patients. Conclusion: Five different surgical methods used in the treatment of chronic subdural hematoma have advantages and disadvantages. We believe that a study conducted by increasing the number of patients, ensuring homogenization of groups, and increasing surgical techniques will shed light on the literature.
