[Surgical treatment of chronic subdural hematoma in the adult. Review of the literature].
There are various methods to treat chronic subdural hematomas in adults. "Open craniotomy" (craniotomy-membranectomy, burr-hole craniotomy) and "closed craniotomy" (twist-drill craniotomy, subdural tapping) are the most frequent technics, but endoscopy and shunts are also possible. No difference in results can be identified from a review of the literature. Different factors of recurrence are analysed.
