Abstract
English
This dissertation presents a retrospective analysis comparing outcomes of patients with chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) treated either by middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) or conventional surgical evacuation. A total of 196 patients treated between 2015 and 2018 at Asklepios Klinik Schildautal Seesen were included. Fifty-four patients underwent MMAE, while 142 received traditional surgical management such as burr-hole trepanation or craniotomy. The study aimed to evaluate recurrence and complication rates between both approaches. Statistical analysis demonstrated a significantly lower recurrence rate in the embolization group (9%) compared to the surgical group (32%). Logistic regression revealed that MMAE reduced recurrence risk six-fold, while craniotomy increased it fifteen-fold. Complication rates did not differ significantly between groups. These results support MMAE as an effective and safe adjunct or alternative to open surgery for chronic subdural hematoma, especially in elderly or multimorbid patients.
