Burr Hole For Hematoma Pune
We at Sancheti Hospital perform burr hole surgery for hematoma evacuation to relieve pressure and restore normal brain function.
What is Burr Hole for Hematoma?
Burr hole surgery for subdural hematoma is a specialized neurosurgical procedure performed to relieve dangerous pressure on the brain caused by blood clots. In this procedure, a small opening is carefully made in the skull to drain accumulated blood, release pressure, and restore normal brain function. This minimally invasive method has become the preferred treatment for chronic subdural hematoma as it offers faster recovery, less trauma compared to larger craniotomy, and effective results in stabilizing neurological symptoms.
Benefits of Burr Hole Surgery
- Immediate relief from symptoms like severe headache, nausea, memory issues, and weakness caused by hematoma.
- Minimally invasive with smaller incision and shorter surgery time.
- Reduced hospital stay and faster rehabilitation.
- Lower complication rates compared to traditional open surgery.
- Improved long-term outcomes allowing patients to regain independence.
Limitations and Disadvantages
Although burr hole surgery is highly effective, it does have some limitations:
- Risk of recurrence of hematoma requiring repeat surgery.
- Potential risks including infection, bleeding, or seizures.
- Effectiveness depends on the size, location, and severity of the hematoma.
- Not suitable for very large or complex hematomas, where more extensive surgery may be needed.
