The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to assess the benefit of early resumption versus late resumption of oral anticoagulation medication in adults with atrial fibrillation undergoing surgery for chronic subdural hematoma. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Oral anticoagulation therapy is resumed on the 5th postoperative day following burr-hole surgery for chronic subdural hematoma.
Oral anticoagulation therapy is resumed on the 30th postoperative day following burr-hole surgery for chronic subdural hematoma.
The patient's prescribed anticoagulant therapy for atrial fibrillation is resumed on the 5th postoperative day following burr-hole surgery for chronic subdural hematoma. This early resumption strategy is compared to the standard practice of resuming anticoagulation therapy on the 30th postoperative day.
