Hello doctor, My 70 year old father had undergone left frontal and parietal, right frontal burr hole craniostomy with an evacuation of subdural hemorrhage under LA and sedation last month. Before the operation, his right side was not working and the problem was resolved after the operation and the doctor discharged him on the 1st of this month with the following medication at discharge: Tablet Levipil 500 mg: one tablet thrice daily to continue. Tablet Cetil 500 mg: one tablet twice daily for five days. Tablet PCM 1 g: one tablet thrice daily for five days. Tablet Pantocid 40 mg: one tablet daily before breakfast for 10 days. Tablet Amlodac 5 mg: one tablet once daily at 8 AM to continue. Tablet Shine 10 mg: one tablet once daily at bedtime for one month. Tablet Solitral: one tablet once daily at bedtime for three months. But, during the checkup (after CT scan study), the doctor advised a burr hole again as he mentioned in the prescription: Residual Chr. SDH Bh FTP commonly, that is, mess effect'. Then the doctor again told me that he may need a third burr hole as well as the problem may sometimes happen. May I know is this due to diagnosis problem or something else? My concern is that it is difficult to go for the same operation again and again. Is there any solution for the hemorrhage problem. If I opted for the burr hole surgery at some good quality hospital with sophisticated facilities, will the problem will be solved completely? Is the recurrence of SDH due to a wrong diagnosis?
