Abstract
Background The endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) is a commonly used technique for resection of sellar, suprasellar, and anterior fossa masses. One of the most troublesome complications of this technique is cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak. In this study, we evaluate the risk factors and consequences of CSF leak on surgical outcomes. Methods The current study is a retrospective single-institution cohort study evaluating patients who underwent EEA for sellar and/or suprasellar masses from July 2017 to March of 2020. Risk factors for intraoperative and postoperative CSF leak were evaluated, including sellar defect size, tumor volume and pathology, age, body mass index, prior endoscopic endonasal surgery, lumbar drain placement, nasoseptal and mucosal graft use, year of surgery, and cavernous sinus invasion. Postoperative infection, perioperative antibiotic use, and length of stay were also evaluated. Results Our study included 175 patients. Sellar defect size ( p = 0.015) and intraoperative CSF leak ( p < 0.001) were significantly associated with an increased risk of postoperative CSF leak. Patients with nasoseptal flaps were more likely to have a postoperative CSF leak than those with free mucosal grafts ( p = 0.025). Intraoperative CSF leak, Cushing's disease, and lumbar drain placement were associated with an increased length of stay. Conclusion Sellar defect size, intraoperative CSF leak, and nasoseptal flap use were associated with an increased risk of postoperative CSF leak. Intraoperative CSF leak, Cushing's disease, and lumbar drain placement are all associated with an increased length of stay.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We sought to investigate the association between diabetes mellitus and incidence of adverse outcomes in patients who underwent meningioma surgery. METHODS The 2012-2014 National Inpatient Sample database was used. Prolonged length of stay was indicated by values greater than the 90th percentile of the sample. The Fisher exact test and analysis of variance were used to compare demographics, hospital characteristics, comorbidity, and complications among race cohorts. Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent effect of diabetes on adverse outcomes. RESULTS After selecting for patients with primary diagnosis of meningioma who underwent a resection procedure, 7745 individuals were identified and divided into diabetic (n = 1518) and nondiabetic (n = 6227) cohorts. Demographics, hospital characteristics, and comorbidities were significantly different among the 2 cohorts. Average length of stay was longer in diabetic patients (8.15 vs. 6.04 days, P < 0.001), and total charges were higher in diabetic patients ($139,462.66 vs. $123,250.71, P < 0.001). Multivariate regression indicated diabetic patients have higher odds of experiencing a complication (odds ratio [OR] 1.442, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.255-1.656, P < 0.001) and in-hospital mortality (OR 1.672, 95% CI 1.034-2.705, P = 0.036) after meningioma surgery. Analysis of individual postoperative complications revealed that diabetic patients experienced increased odds of pulmonary (OR 1.501, 95% CI 1.209-1.864, P < 0.001), neurologic (OR 1.690, 95% CI 1.383-2.065, P < 0.001), and urinary/renal complications (OR 2.618, 95% CI 1.933-3.545, P < 0.001). In addition, diabetic patients were more likely to have a prolonged length of stay (OR 1.694, 95% CI 1.389-2.065, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Diabetes is an important factor associated with complications after meningioma surgery. Preventative measures must be taken to optimize postoperative outcomes in these patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Patients affected by Cushing's disease often have important comorbidities directly linked to hypercortisolism that might enhance the operative risk. We report the safety of transsphenoidal surgery in patients affected by Cushing's disease as compared with patients with nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma. METHODS We have retrospectively analyzed 142 patients with Cushing's disease and 299 patients with nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma who underwent transsphenoidal surgery performed by a single experienced neurosurgeon between September 2007 and December 2014. For all of them, an intraoperative computerized anesthetic record for the automatic storage of data was available. RESULTS The intraoperative vital parameters and the frequency of drugs administered during anesthesia were comparable between Cushing's disease and nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma groups. The duration of surgery was similar between the two groups (41.2 ± 11.8 vs. 42.9 ± 15.6 min), while the duration of anesthesia was slightly shorter in Cushing's disease patients (97.6 ± 18.1 min) than in nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma patients (101.6 ± 20.6 min, p = 0.04). The total perioperative mortality rate was 0.2% (0% in Cushing's disease vs. 0.3% in nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma). Cushing's disease patients had surgical and medical complication rates of 3.5% each, not different from those occurring in nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma. The postoperative incidence of diabetes insipidus (10.6%) and isolated hyponatremia (10.6%) in Cushing's disease patients was significantly higher than in nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma patients (4.4 and 4.1%; p = 0.02 and p = 0.01, respectively). CONCLUSIONS In a large series of unselected and consecutive patients with Cushing's disease, transsphenoidal surgery performed by one dedicated experienced neurosurgeon had a reasonably low risk of complications. In particular, despite the higher burden of comorbidities typically associated with hypercortisolism, medical complications are rare and no more frequent than in patients with nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Although previous studies have reported increased perioperative complications among obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients undergoing any surgery requiring general anesthesia, there is a paucity of literature addressing the impact of OSA on postoperative transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) complications. The aim of this study was to analyze postoperative outcomes in transsphenoidal pituitary surgery patients with OSA. Secondarily, we examined patient characteristics and comorbidities. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective analysis. METHODS The 2002 to 2013 National Inpatient Sample was queried for patients undergoing TSS for pituitary neoplasm. Patients with an additional diagnosis of OSA were identified, and compared to a non-OSA cohort. RESULTS There were 17,777 patients identified; 5.0% (N = 889) had an additional diagnosis of OSA. The OSA cohort had more comorbidities including diabetes mellitus, congestive heart failure, chronic pulmonary disease, coagulopathy, hypertension, hypothyroidism, liver disease, obesity, peripheral vascular disease, renal failure, acromegaly, and Cushing's syndrome. Postoperatively, OSA was independently associated with increased risks of tracheostomy (P = .015) and hypoxemia (P < .001), and decreased risk of cardiac complications (P = .034). OSA patients did not have increased rates of cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea, diabetes insipidus, reintubation, aspiration pneumonia, infectious pneumonia, thromboembolic complications, or urinary/renal complications. In-hospital mortality rates did not vary between the two cohorts. CONCLUSIONS In patients who underwent transsphenoidal pituitary surgery, OSA was associated with higher rates of certain pulmonary and airway complications. OSA was not associated with increased non-pulmonary/airway complications or inpatient mortality, despite older average age and higher comorbidity rates. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 2C.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To explore the relationship between lower airway disease and postoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea among patients undergoing pituitary surgery STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective review. METHODS A retrospective review of the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project's 2013 National Inpatient Sample was conducted to characterize the hospital stay and surgical outcomes of patients undergoing pituitary surgery. Patients with lower airway disease (including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma) were compared to a disease-free population identifying demographics and complications over-represented in the lower airway group. RESULTS The majority of hypophysectomies (92.1%) were performed via a transsphenoidal approach. Among transsphenoidal patients, individuals with asthma (92.8% of the lower airway disease cohort) harbored a greater postoperative CSF leak rate (4.7% vs. 2.7%, P = .022), and were more likely to develop postoperative diabetes insipidus (6.2% vs. 4.1%, P = .024) and neurological complications (13.0% vs. 9.6%, P = .010) when compared to a lower airway disease-free cohort. Patients with CSF rhinorrhea had longer lengths of stay (7.8 days vs. 4.5 days, P < .001) and higher discharge costs ($148,309 vs. $76,246, P < .001). A binary logistic regression model identified having asthma (P = .042), being female (P = .011), and having gastroesophageal reflux disease (P = .006) as independent predictors of postoperative CSF rhinorrhea. CONCLUSIONS Several patient comorbidities including asthma are associated with a greater risk of postoperative CSF rhinorrhea. Perioperative lower airway assessment and disease control may potentially decrease one's risk of this complication, although further inquiry is urgently needed to identify optimal preventive strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Our objectives included using a nationally representative resource to evaluate charges, demographics, and complication rates among diabetics undergoing surgical repair of facial fractures. METHODS We evaluated the Nationwide Inpatient Sample, a database encompassing nearly 8 million hospitalizations, for patients with a diagnosis of a facial fracture who underwent surgical intervention during their hospitalization. Patients were organized by whether they had a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus (DM). RESULTS Of 45,509 inpatients included, diabetics had greater costs, longer length of stays, and were significantly more likely to have a host of baseline comorbidities. On multivariate logistic regression corrected for age, race, gender, and preexisting cardiac disease, DM patients had significantly greater odds for cardiac complications (3.3; P < 0.001) and hepatic failure (15.0; P = 0.007). There were no significant differences associated with DM in the rates of enophthalmos, epiphora, and diplopia among patients with orbital fractures. Diabetics did have a significantly greater risk of postoperative infection after mandible repair. CONCLUSION In addition to a significant association with greater length of stay and increased hospital charges, DM patients undergoing surgical repair of facial fractures had a significantly greater risk of postoperative complications, including cardiac complications. Diabetics undergoing mandible repair had a greater risk of postoperative infection, even upon controlling for demographic factors, suggesting the need for further study evaluating the role of postoperative antibiotic prophylaxis in this patient population. These findings reveal the potential value of developing and using standardized postoperative care algorithms aimed at minimizing complications in this susceptible population. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 2c.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although there has been extensive study evaluating adult pituitary surgery, there has been scant analysis among children. Our objective was to evaluate a population-based resource to characterize nationwide trends in surgical approach, hospital stay, and complications among children undergoing pituitary surgery. METHODS The Kids' Inpatient-Database (KID) files (2009/2012) were evaluated for pituitary gland excisions. Procedure, patient demographics, length of inpatient stay, inpatient costs, hospital setting, and surgical complications were analyzed. RESULTS A weighted incidence of 1071 cases were analyzed; the majority (77.6%) underwent transsphenoidal resections. These patients had significantly decreased hospital costs and lengths of stay. Patients undergoing transfrontal approaches had significantly greater rates of postoperative diabetes insipidus (DI) (66.5%), panhypopituitarism (38.8%), hydrocephalus, and visual deficits. Among transsphenoidal patients, males had greater rates of postoperative hydrocephalus (5.5%) and panhypopituitarism (17.5%) than females, and patients ≤10 years old had greater rates of these 2 complications (14.5%, 19.4%, respectively) as well as DI (61.3%). CONCLUSION A greater proportion of children undergo transfrontal approaches for pituitary lesions than in their adult counterparts. This difference may harbor a potential to influence future sellar resection approaches in children toward a transsphenoidal operation when surgically feasible. Patients undergoing transfrontal procedures have greater risks for many intraoperative and postoperative complications relative to individuals undergoing transsphenoidal resections. Among patients undergoing transsphenoidal approaches, males had significantly greater rates of postoperative hydrocephalus and panhypopituitarism, and younger children had greater rates of postoperative DI, hydrocephalus, and panhypopituitarism. These data reinforce the need for greater vigilance in the postoperative care of younger children undergoing transsphenoidal surgery.
