Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) evacuation is one of the most frequent surgical procedures in neurosurgery ¹⁾

see Chronic subdural hematoma surgical techniques.

Routine post-operative CT brain for burr hole drainage of CSDH may be unnecessary in view of the good predictive value of pre-operative volume, and also because it is not predictive of the clinical outcome ²⁾.

Scheduled postoperative cranial imaging with indwelling drains was not shown to be beneficial and misses information of intracranial damage inflicted by removal of drains. Brokinkel et al recommend CT-scanning after drainage removal ³⁾.
