RESUMEN

Objetivo:

Comparar la evolución postoperatoria de los hematomas subdurales subagudos (HSDSA) y hematomas subdurales crónicos (HSDC) intervenidos con técnica de 2 trépanos, desde junio 2013 a junio 2015. Material y

métodos:

Se realizó un análisis prospectivo comparando 2 grupos de pacientes HSDSA y HSDC. Ambos fueron tratados con la misma técnica quirúrgica dos orificios de trepano, lavado y drenajes subdurales. Se analizaron y compararon tiempo de cirugía, resolución de los síntomas, necesidad de re-intervención y días de internación. Las variables se presentan como media y DS y mediana y RI, las comparaciones se realizaron con test o Chi2 según su naturaleza, una p <0.05 se considero significativa.

Resultados:

Fueron evaluados 66 pacientes, 30 HSDSA y 36 HSDC. La edad fue 75 ±11 años (HSDA 76± 11 y HSDC 74 ±12, p 0.5), masculinos 66% (HSDSA 50% y HSDC 85%, p 0.006). El tiempo medio de cirugía para HSDSA fue 59±12 y HSDC 59±17 minutos, p 0.9. Resolvieron la sintomatología en HSDSA 28 (93,3%) y HSDC 34 (94,4%), p 0.8; y requirieron una segunda cirugía por recidiva HSDSA 2 (6,7%) y HSDC 2 (5,6%), p 0.6. La mediana del tiempo de internación fue HSDSA 10 [9- 12] días y HSDC 7,5 [6-10] días, p 0.01. La sobrevida fue del 100%.

Conclusiones:

La trepanación es una técnica ampliamente aceptada para el tratamiento de HSDC. En hematomas subdurales agudos no existe discusión sobre la necesidad de realizar un abordaje mayor (craneotomía o craniectomía). En el caso de HSDSA la evidencia publicada no es tan concluyente tendiendo en muchos centros a tratarlos en forma similar a los hematomas subdurales agudos generalmente por considerar que la técnica de trepanación y drenaje podría ser insuficiente. Basado en los resultados obtenidos en el presente trabajo podemos concluir que esta técnica es igualmente efectiva para el tratamiento de HSDC y HSDSA y recomendamos su utilización sistemática.
ABSTRACT

Objective:

To compare the postoperative course of subacute subdural hematomas (SSDH) and chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) operated upon using two burr holes from June 2013 to June 2015.

Methods:

A prospective analysis was performed comparing patients with SSDH versus CSDH. Both were treated with the same surgical technique —two burr holes— followed by lavage and subdural drainage. Variables compared were surgery time, resolution of symptoms, the need for re-intervention, and number of inpatient days. Variables are presented as means with SD, medians and range, with statistical comparisons performed via Pearson χ2 analysis or XXXXXXXX, as appropriate, with p <0.05 considered significant.

Results:

A total of 66 patients were analyzed, 30 with SSDH and 36 with CSDH. Mean overall age was 75 ± 11 years with no difference between the two groups (76 ± 11 versus 74 ± 12, respectively; p=0.5). Overall, 66% were male, including 50% with SSDH and 85% with CSDH (p = 0.006). The average lengths of surgery were 59 ± 12 versus 59 ± 17 minutes, respectively (p = 0.9). No intergroup differences were noted in the rate of symptom resolution (93.3% versus 94.4%; p = 0.8) or need for a second surgery for disease recurrence (6.7% vs. 5.6%, p = 0.6). The median length of stay was somewhat shorter in SSDH patients (10 [9-12] vs. 7.5 [6-10] days; p = 0.01). Overall survival was 100%.

Conclusions:

Trepanation is a widely-accepted technique for the treatment of CSDH. For acute subdural hematomas, there is no discussion regarding the need for a more aggressive approach (e.g., craniotomy or craniectomy). For SSDH, however, published evidence is not as conclusive; yet many centers treat such patients similarly to those with acute subdural hematomas, usually in the belief that trepanation and drainage would be insufficient. Based upon the results obtained in our series, we conclude that this technique is equally effective for the treatment of CSDH and SSDH, and recommend its routine use.
