Overview

Prospective analysis identifies tumor location and surgical complications influencing postoperative risks in neurosurgery.

Key Points

  • This research aims to analyze postoperative adverse events in skull base surgery to identify risk factors and mitigation strategies.
  • Prospective enrollment of 236 adult patients undergoing skull base surgery.
  • Systematic documentation of adverse events occurring within 30 days postoperatively.
  • Assessment of patient demographics, tumor characteristics, surgical craniotomies, and outcomes.
  • Statistical analyses to evaluate associations between variables and complications.
  • 28.8% of patients experienced postoperative adverse events.
  • Ifratentorial tumor location and prolonged surgery were linked to increased surgical complications.
  • Retrosigmoid craniotomy was a significant risk factor for neurosurgical adverse events.
  • Older age and higher ASA scores predicted non-neurosurgical complications effectively.
