Emergency neurosurgery for traumatic brain injury by general surgeons at local hospitals in Sweden: a viable option when time is brain
Although a slightly greater proportion of patients who underwent emergency neurosurgery at local hospitals died, there was no difference in the rate of favourable outcome. Thus, in patients with impending brain herniation, when time is of the essence, evacuation of traumatic intracranial bleeding by general surgeons at local hospitals remains a highly viable option.
