Decompressive surgery for "pure" epidural hematomas: does neurosurgical expertise improve the outcome?
Patients with pure epidural hematomas have better prognoses than previously assumed. There is usually enough time to safely transfer patients to a neurosurgical unit, provided that transport is rapid and anesthesiological services are available during the transport. Surgeons without training in neurosurgery should not perform emergency craniotomies in local hospitals but, rather, should transfer patients as quickly as possible to the nearest department of neurosurgery.
