• Indications for Surgery• EDH larger than 30 cc : operatively • EDH smaller than 30 cc, less than 15 mm thick, and with less than a 5-mm
midline shift in patients with a GCS score lower than 8 without focal deficit can be managed : : nonoperatively
• Timing• Patients in coma with aEDH (GCS score <9) and anisocoria
undergo surgical evacuation as soon as possible.• Important caveat• EDH in the middle fossa/inferotemporal lobe should have a lower threshold
for surgery
![Page 8: 335 Surgical management of traumatic brain injury](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070512/588a881d1a28abad628b6ad7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
aSDH• Indications for Surgery• aSDH with thickness greater than 10 mm or a midline shift of greater than 5
mm on CT : operatively• All patients in coma with aSDH (GCS score <9) : ICP monitoring• A comatose patient (GCS score <9) with an aSDH smaller than 10 mm and a
midline shift of less than 5 mm should undergo surgical evacuation of the lesion if• GCS score drop > 2• asymmetric or fixed and dilated pupils• ICP exceeds 20 mm Hg.

Evaluation of Relevant Findings on CT
• Posttraumatic Mass Volume Measurement in Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury• Radiographic Correlates of Outcome
![Page 13: 335 Surgical management of traumatic brain injury](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070512/588a881d1a28abad628b6ad7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Posttraumatic Mass Volume Measurement in Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury• ABC method• A largest diameter in slice 1• B orthogonal to A• C• Compare each 10-mm slice with slice 1.• > 75% of slice 1, count that slice as 1.• 25% to 75%, count the slice as 0.5.• < 25%, count the slice as zero (do not count the slice).• Add these totals to get “C.”
• ABC/2

Radiographic Correlates of Outcome
• Standard• 5-mm slices from the foramen magnum to the sella• 10-mm slices above the sella, parallel to the orbitomeatal line
• Compressed or absent basal cisterns • Midline shift (MLS) at the foramen of Monro• MLS = (A/2) − B.

Preoperative Preparation• Prophylactic hyperventilation or the use of mannitol is no longer
recommended• Unless the patient exhibits focal neurological signs (contralateral
weakness, ipsilateral anisocoria or “blown pupils,” decerebrate or decorticate posturing)• hyperventilated to a Paco2 of 30 to 32 mm Hg• given 1 g/kg of mannitol immediately

Preoperative Preparation• Anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs• chronic alcoholism and chronic aspirin ingestion
• Recombinant factor VIIa (rFVIIa)• induce hemostasis within 10 minutes• decrease hematoma expansion in patients with hypertensive
hemorrhage and trauma• Expensive• 20 – 40 mg of rFVIIa
• 5 to 10 mg of vitamin K intravenously, platelets FFP

General consideration for supratentorial hematoma
• Rationale for Use of a Large Craniotomy• Craniotomy Technique
![Page 23: 335 Surgical management of traumatic brain injury](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070512/588a881d1a28abad628b6ad7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Rationale for Use of a Large Craniotomy
• Require debridement • Frontal pole• Temporal pole• Inferior part of frontal lobe• Craniotomy should no closure more than 1.5-2 cm from midline :
avoid saggital sinus and parasaggital granulation
![Page 24: 335 Surgical management of traumatic brain injury](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070512/588a881d1a28abad628b6ad7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Craniotomy Technique
![Page 25: 335 Surgical management of traumatic brain injury](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070512/588a881d1a28abad628b6ad7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Craniotomy Technique
![Page 26: 335 Surgical management of traumatic brain injury](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070512/588a881d1a28abad628b6ad7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
EDH• Associated linear skull fracture• Bleeding from• anterior or posterior divisions of the middle meningeal artery• middle meningeal vein, the diploic veins, or the venous sinuses
• Usually clot• Temporal location should have lower threshold for surgery
![Page 27: 335 Surgical management of traumatic brain injury](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070512/588a881d1a28abad628b6ad7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Operative technique• Frontotemporoparietal or a large pterional craniotomy• Slash incision and can extend to trauma flap • Epicenter of the EDH to provide complete exposure of the hematoma
such that the margins are approximately 5 mm less than the diameter of the EDH : allow optimal dural “hitching”• Initial bur hole is placed over the thickest part of the clot to reduce
ICP• Intramural reperfusion hematoma : develop rapidly under a removed
extradural hematoma
![Page 28: 335 Surgical management of traumatic brain injury](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070512/588a881d1a28abad628b6ad7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Operative technique• Incision• Raney clip• Strip periosteum• Craniotomy : two to four bur hole• Dural tack-up suture : no more than 2.5 cm• Central dural tack-up suture• Remove blood clot and stop bleeding source• Replace bone flap• Vacuum drain under galeal layer
![Page 29: 335 Surgical management of traumatic brain injury](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070512/588a881d1a28abad628b6ad7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
aSDH• Associated intracranial lesion : contusions, hematomas, or cortical
lacerations• Important and potentially lethal complication of anticoagulant
therapy.

Operative technique• Large frontotemporoparietal craniotomy• Dura opening• Remove clot : SDH, intracerebral• Bleeding point• Cortical surface : bipolar• Bridging vein : bipolar• Sinus wall : Gelfoam,Surgicel or Aveitene and gentle temponade with
cottonoid pad
![Page 31: 335 Surgical management of traumatic brain injury](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070512/588a881d1a28abad628b6ad7/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Operative technique• If diffuse oozing is persistent• PT, PTT, platelet count, and INR• Five to 10 units of FFP, rFVIIa, or up to 5 to 10 packs of platelet
concentrate• Dural peripheral tack-up sutures• Duraplasty
![Page 32: 335 Surgical management of traumatic brain injury](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070512/588a881d1a28abad628b6ad7/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Intraparenchymal hemorrhage and contusion
• Repeat CT brain daily over the first 3 day• Delayed traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage : develop of radiographic
injury in 24-72 hr• Early identification and treatment, improve outcome• Bifrontal craniotomy or bifrontal decompressive craniectomy
![Page 33: 335 Surgical management of traumatic brain injury](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070512/588a881d1a28abad628b6ad7/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
