Long-tunneled versus short-tunneled external ventricular drainage: Prospective experience from a developing country
BACKGROUND: External ventricular drains (EVD) are commonly utilized for temporary diversion of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Many neurosurgeons prefer long-tunneled EVDs in their routine practice. However, it is still unclear whether this extended tunneling helps in reducing CSF infection. Keeping this...
