Overview
Surgical intervention is not recommended for the management of [disease name].
OR
Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with [disease name]. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either [indication 1], [indication 2], and [indication 3]
OR

- Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for epidural hematoma.[1][2][3]
- An epidural hematoma greater than 30 cm3 should be surgically evacuated regardless of the patient's Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score. An epidural hematoma less than 30 cm3 and with less than a 15-mm thickness and with less than a 5-mm midline shift in patients with a GCS score greater than 8 without focal deficit can be managed nonoperatively with serial computed tomographic scanning and close neurological observation in a neurosurgical center.[4]
- Acute epidural hematoma with a small amount of bleeding(less than 50 mL)may be treated by minimal invasive surgery methods which avoids craniotomy.[5]

Overview
Surgery
As with other types of intracranial hematomas, the blood may be aspirated surgically to remove the mass and reduce the pressure it puts on the brain.[1] The hematoma is neurosurgically evacuated through a burr hole or craniotomy. The diagnosis of epidural hematoma requires a patient to be cared for in a facility with a neurosurgeon on call to decompress the hematoma if necessary and stop the bleed by ligating the injured vessel branches.
