Risk Factors for Intracranial Infection in Surgical Patients with Suprasellar Craniopharyngiomas by an Expanded Endoscopic Endonasal Approach: A Single-Center Initial Experience
The rate of EETS meningitis varies from 0% to 30% according to previous studies. Opening of the third ventricle during surgery was an independent risk factor for intracranial infection in surgical patients with suprasellar craniopharyngiomas by EEEA. Gentamicin physiological saline irrigation during surgery might prevent postsurgical infection.
