Video Summary
In the video, the presenters discuss the case series on awake transradial middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization and twist-drill craniostomy for chronic subdural hematomas. Chronic subdural hematomas are a common problem in neurosurgery, especially in the elderly. The minimally invasive treatment approach of MMA embolization and SEPs (subdural evacuating port system) shows potential in improving outcomes. The video presents a retrospective analysis of 250 patients who underwent different treatment methods for subdural hematomas. The combined approach of MMA embolization and SEPs demonstrates a reduction in length of stay and hematoma recurrence compared to operative intervention alone or SEPs alone. This treatment may be especially beneficial for elderly patients with operative risk factors. Further research with larger sample sizes is needed. No specific credits were mentioned.
