Clinical characteristics and temporal trends of lumbar drain use in minimally invasive resection of pituitary neoplasms
The NSQIP database provides a large patient population for examining LD use in endoscopic pituitary adenoma resection. LD use for minimally invasive pituitary surgery is associated with postoperative medical complications and unplanned readmissions, with no apparent impact on reconstructive outcomes, and there is overall decreasing usage. Clinical judgment should be exercised in selecting appropriate scenarios for use.
