Drains vs. no drains following burr-hole evacuation of chronic subdural hematoma by Sajag Gupta

“…Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, it was concluded that there is no significant difference between the two groups and that recurrence will occur whether a drain is placed or not; however, it was also discovered that the rate of recurrence was lower with a subdural drain than without a drain after burr hole evacuation of chronic subdural hematoma. Some additional component may be involved in recurrence, necessitating a lengthy investigation to make a solid judgement. …”
