Assessing the Risk of Postoperative Hemorrhage With NSAID Use After Transoral Robotic Surgery.

Key Points

• To assess the relationship between NSAID use after transoral robotic surgery and the risk of postoperative hemorrhage.
• Analyzed patient outcomes following transoral robotic surgery (TORS)
• Evaluated rates of primary and secondary postoperative hemorrhage (POH)
• Assessed 30-day return to emergency room (ER) and 30-day mortality rates
• NSAID use after TORS was not linked to increased risk of primary or secondary POH
• Only 37.5% of patients received NSAIDs post-surgery
• No observed rise in 30-day return to ER or mortality with NSAID use
