Abstract Views: 70

The main objective of this research study was to examine the treatment outcomes of traumatic intracranial hematomas through the application of algorithms for complex diagnosis and differentiated tactics for treating various types of traumatic hematomas. Between 2014 and 2019, a total of 635 patients with traumatic intracranial hematomas were evaluated and treated at the Republican Specialized Scientific and Practical Medical Center of Neurosurgery. In addressing indications for surgical or conservative treatment, a unique approach was adopted based on the principles of urgency, complexity, and interconnection at all stages of treatment in the hospital. The results of the treatment of traumatic intracranial hematomas, both surgical and conservative, significantly varied not only in different periods and phases of the course of traumatic brain injury but also depending on the patient's age, type, location, and prevalence of the hematoma. The application of algorithms for complex diagnosis and differentiated treatment was found to be beneficial.
