Aprepitant and Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting in Patients Undergoing Acoustic Neuroma Surgery: A Retrospective Database Analysis
Our results confirm that PONV is a common complication following AN resection. Preoperative aprepitant administration was not associated with reduced PONV. Intraoperative variables such as the surgical approach and duration of anesthesia might play a role in mitigating the risk of PONV. Future studies should identify other perioperative interventions to allow for the development of protocols addressing PONV.
