Summary
For acute subdural hematoma (aSDH) cases with limited surgical access, a mini-craniotomy combined with endoscopic assistance offers an effective solution for hematoma evacuation, especially after prior complex surgeries.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Trauma Surgery
- Minimally Invasive Surgery
Background:
- Acute subdural hematoma (aSDH) is a common consequence of head trauma.
- Standard surgical treatment involves large craniotomies for hematoma removal.
- Previous reconstructive surgeries can complicate surgical planning and limit craniotomy options.
