Summary

We analyzed results of the surgical treatment of chronic subdural hematomas (CSH) in 148 patients. It’s estimated that removal of hematoma through the burr hole with further closed external drainage is the most adequate method for CSH treatment, especially in the elderly patients. Craniotomy with membranectomy is recommended only in cases of vast dense clots in the hematoma cavity, rarely- in cases with its calcification and also in patients with the real recurrence and insufficiency of the drainage operations.
