title: [Transcutaneous external ventriculostomy (surgical technique)].
abstract: The paper deals with the placement of external ventricular drainage, one of the most common mini-invasive surgical techniques. The operation is described in the stepwise fashion. Photos of each of the surgical stages allow the reader to gain a deep insight into the specific features of the surgical technique. This technique can be useful particularly for emergency neurosurgeons.
