Burr-hole versus twist-drill drainage for the evacuation of chronic subdural haematoma: a comparison of clinical results.
Most neurosurgeons remove clinically symptomatic subdural haematomata, but the techniques they choose remain controversial. ⋯ The results at our institution indicate that burr-hole evacuation for chronic subdural haematoma is superior to twist-drill evacuation with respect to clinical outcomes and complications.
