Randomized controlled study on the curative effects of twist-drill craniotomy and burr-hole craniotomy in the treatment of chronic subdural hematoma.

In conclusion, no significant differences were identified in the cure rate and the mortality rate of patients with CSDH after the two types of surgical treatment. However, the mRS score in the TDC group at 3 months after the operation exhibited a significantly greater improvement compared with that in the BHC group, and the overall LOS in the TDC group was significantly shorter than that in BHC group. Therefore, TDC is superior to BHC in the treatment of CSDH (trial registration no. ChiCTR-INR-16008368). PMID: 30116345 [PubMed]
