Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) using a novel YL-1 puncture needle and summarize the risk factors of recurrence in chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH). Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis in 516 hospitalized patients with CSDH from January 2013 to December 2018 in Northern Jiangsu People’s Hospital. Patients’ gender, age, history of trauma, use of anticoagulants, history of disturbed liver or renal function, history of heart disease, history of malignant tumor, history of diabetes, hemodialysis, coagulopathy, alcoholism, imaging indicators, and postoperative application of urokinase or atorvastatin were recorded. Recurrence is defined by imaging examination with or without clinical presentation three months after discharge. Results: In total, 483 patients (93.60%) benefited from MIS by YL-1 needle. Gender, age, history of head trauma, history of disturbed liver function, history of heart disease, history of malignant tumor, history of diabetes, history of hemodialysis, coagulopathy, alcoholism, hematoma location, hematoma densities, septum formation, maximum thickness, encephalatrophy, and use of atorvastatin and urokinase were shown to be non-significantly associated with postoperative recurrence (p > 0.05). The use of anticoagulants was significantly associated with postoperative recurrence (p > 0. 05). Logistic analysis showed that the use of anticoagulants is an independent factor predicting postoperative recurrence (p > 0. 05). Conclusions: The novel YL-1 puncture needle turned out to be a safe and effective minimally invasive surgery, and the use of anticoagulants is an independent risk factor predicting postoperative recurrence in CSDH, which can provide MIS and early therapeutic strategies for neurosurgeons.
Highlights
Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a common clinical disease treated by neurosurgeons
Males represent approximately 75% of the cases, and two-thirds have a clear history of trauma [3]
Had mixed densities, and 16 patients (3.10%) had septum formation in the hematoma based on Computer Tomography (CT) scanning or MR imaging
Summary
Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a common clinical disease treated by neurosurgeons. The incidence is about 14.1 of 100,000 per year in the general population [1,2]. Males represent approximately 75% of the cases, and two-thirds have a clear history of trauma [3]. The incidence reaches 0.0074% in the elderly group, accounting for nearly 10% of intracranial hemorrhage [4]. Elderly patients have a 10-fold increase in the risk of developing CSDH depending on their anticoagulation status [5]. Because of the increasing rise towards life expectancy and population aging, higher incidence and diagnostic innovation bring new challenges to our treatments
