Chronic SDH - patient 80 yrs- recovery ?

2017-04-17 16:15:54
15 days ago a craniatomy was done - now again in a CT scan SDH is noted. My question is will this 80 yrs old patient be able to undergo another craniatomy which the doctors are asking . What is the recovery rate ? What is the guarantee that there won't be another SDH to occur? How much is the risk of this 2nd craniatomy? Any other way to avoid this craniatomy? Can there be a non surgical approach? P. S. He has bilateral SDH. Sir please answer it's an emergency condition.
