Description
Two skull surgeries for blood clots on the brain are weighed by Syed Hasham Ali and co-authors in a 2024 review. Acute clots above the brain demand fast action, and surgeons either lift a bone flap and replace it or leave it off to ease swelling. Which is better has long been disputed.
Fifteen studies from three databases feed a meta-analysis run under standard review rules. Death and recovery scores headline the pooled outcomes. A matched subgroup analysis trims bias from sicker patients landing in one arm. Clearer odds can help surgeons and families choose under the worst time pressure in medicine.
