| Abstract | ||
| Introduction: Nowadays chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is considered one of the most important neurosurgical concerns. Its incidence is increasing overtime may be due to increase life expectancy and increase usage of antiplatelet and anticoagulant medications. So it is expected that the incidence of CSDH will be doubled by the year 2030. surgical management includes performing burr-hole(S) and minicraniotomy technique. Aim: The aim was to compare two surgical techniques burr-hole(s) and minicraniotomy in treatment of chronic subdural hematoma in terms ofimmediate complications, outcomes and early recurrence rate within 3 months. patients and Methods: The study was a prospective randomized studyconducted upon 47 cases of CSDH divided as follows 25 cases in burr-hole group and 22 cases in minicraniotomy group. The study was done in departments of neurosurgery in Alexandria university hospital and Damanhour medical national institute from 1st September 2022 to 30 June 2023. All preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative data were collected and compared using appropriate statistical tests. | ||
