Description

• Endoscopic Endonasal Skull Base Surgery (EESBS) encompasses a wide range of surgeries; pituitary adenoma resection is the most common of these.
• Patients routinely are admitted to the ICU post-operatively for monitoring of serious complications such as intracerebral hemorrhage and meningitis.
• Some complications such as diabetes insipidus, however, do not require a stay within the ICU and can be managed as an out-patient.
• Besides adding stress and discomfort to the patient, stays in the ICU are costly with one study reporting a cost of $2,902 per day.
• Previous studies identified preoperative hypertension and large tumor volume (>4500 mm3) as risk factors for ICU-level complications in lateral skull base surgeries and utilized this for risk stratification.
