What is it about?
Chronic subdural haematoma (CSDH), is a common neurosurgical disorder that is associated with morbidity and mortality affecting the ageing population. The aim is to present the treatment experience of CSDH patients treated with a technique that combines the classical single burr-hole irrigation and the continuous closed system drainage: The Closed System Irrigation & Drainage (CSID) technique.

Why is it important?
closed system irrigation and drainage technique with a sub-periosteal drain seems to be a simple, effective and safe procedure for treatment of CSDH. It’s well tolerated under local anaesthesia for patients with high co-morbidities and these preliminary results indicated it may potentially be a better option for treatment of CSDH with a lower rate of post-operative complications.
Perspectives
I hope that sharing my experience in modification of the CSDH surgical evacuation technique would help in improving the outcome and reduce the risk of complications of this condition.
