Modified bedside twist drill craniostomy for evacuation of chronic subdural haematoma

Introduction Standard craniotomy (SC) and burr hole craniostomy (BHC) are regarded as the standard approaches to chronic subdural haematoma (CSDH). Bedside twist drill craniostomy (TDC), performed at the patient’s bedside, was introduced as an alternative to the standard methods. However, clinical and radiological features of patients treated with TDC and BHC/SC have not been compared.
