Comparison of Duration of CSF Leak in Post Traumatic Patients Managed by Early Lumbar Drain vs Conservative Treatment
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Device
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
As limited data is available locally and internationally regarding early Lumbar drain and its effect on duration of CSF leak we have decided to compare it conservative treatment. By providing CSF an alternative route for drainage, the fistula site will remain dry. Leakage site won't be facing CSF pressure, and this will promote early healing of the wound.
