Mini-Perforated Craniotomy with Subperiosteal Drain for Evacuation of Chronic Subdural Hematoma: A New Technique and Clinical Study

Abstract

Background Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is a frequent disease of the elderly with favorable outcomes. The main choice of treatment is surgery. Along with many surgical techniques described for evacuation of cSDH, we are presenting the preliminary outcomes of a novel surgical method, mini-perforated craniotomy with a subperiosteal drain.
