💡After burr-hole evacuation of a chronic subdural hematoma, residual air may delay brain re-expansion. A new technique replaces air with saline using gravity and hydrostatic pressure, with a single drain and no general anesthesia. Simple and effective. doi.org/10.1016/j.neuc…

Short 🧵regarding what it means when a needle driver has a gold handle. The gold handles are not just cosmetic: the needle drivers actually *are* better. To understand this, we have to know what is meant by the 'jaws' of the needle driver. (1/4)

The ubiquitous SH needle, used for many applications. It stands for ‘Small Half’ circle. There are also MH, LH, XLH, and even XXLH…not shown here. It turns out that all of the needle designations have a meaning… Short 🧵.

Being a neurosurgeon-in-training is the most amazing privilege, but I never expected that this would be one of the greatest stresses of the career … @e1v1m1 @bbchealth @Channel4News @SkyNews
