External ventricular drainage for treatment of rapidly progressive posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:The microendoscopic discectomy (MED) technique was initially developed in 1997 to treat herniated lumbar disc disease. Since then, thousands of cases have been successfully performed at more than 500 institutions. This article discusses the technical aspects of this procedure and presents a consecutive case s...
