Postoperative Complications and Readmission Rates Following Surgery for Cerebellopontine Angle Schwannomas

Abstract

Most common NSQIP-tracked complications in excision of CPA neoplasms are infections, sepsis, blood loss, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Further, investigation of patients with unplanned readmission and reoperation are warranted. Neurotologists need to take an active role in the data to be gathered in the NSQIP database as it relates to vestibular schwannomas.
