RESUMEN
Objective To discuss the feasibility of minimally invasive drainage tube placement and tee-junctions irrigation for the treatment of chronic subdural hematoma. Methods Transcranial drainage and closed tee-junctions irrigation was carried out under local anesthesia in 31 cases of chronic subdural hematoma by using self-made trocar and osteotome. Results All the patients had been completely freed of the disease, without pneumocephalus. Follow-up for 3~6 months revealed no recurrence. Conclusions Minimally invasive tube placement and tee-junctions irrigation for chronic subdural hematoma is feasible. It not only clears away the lesions thoroughly, but also prevents the pneumocephalus effectively.
