Brain surgery showdown: which procedure saves more lives after severe head trauma?
NCT ID NCT04261673
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of brain surgery for people with a severe head injury that causes a blood clot (epidural hematoma) and brain herniation. One surgery removes the clot and a piece of skull to relieve pressure; the other removes the clot without removing skull bone. The goal is to see which approach leads to better long-term recovery and fewer complications. About 120 participants are being followed after surgery.
