Trial of a new operative method for recurrent chronic subdural hematoma.
A new operative method for treating recurrent chronic subdural hematoma is presented. This method consists of complete obliteration of the subdural hematoma cavity and conversion of the hematoma cavity into epidural space. The procedure was carried out in three patients with recurrent chronic subdural hematoma, all of whom made a complete recovery.
