  • Title: Drain type and technique for subdural insertion after burr hole evacuation of chronic subdural hematoma.
    Author: Jensen TSR, Poulsen FR, Bergholt B, Hundsholt T, Fugleholm K.

    Abstract:
    Strengths and limitations of subdural versus subperiosteal drain location after burr hole evacuation of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) are currently debated. The safety of subdural placement of a drain has been questioned in a recent study by Soleman et al. from 2019, showing a misplacement rate of 17%, and these results have been further highlighted by the same authors, with a slightly lower misplacement rate of 15.8%, in the recent paper "When the drain hits the brain." The safety of subdural drainage for CSDH depends to a high degree on type of drain and surgical technique. In this technical note, we describe drain type and technique for drain placement which is standardized in Denmark.
