Complications after skull base tumor surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at how often problems happen after surgery to remove skull base tumors. It may help doctors better understand and reduce risks for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for skull base tumor surgery that is not an emergency
- You are in generally good health for surgery (ASA class I to III)
- You do not have severe heart, lung, or liver problems
- You can complete a heart check-up before surgery

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at people who had a skull repair surgery (cranioplasty) to see what problems might happen afterward. Researchers want to find out what factors raise the risk of complications so they can help future patients recover more safely.
This study looks at whether doing a brief breathing-tube exam (bronchoscopy) after specific lung surgery can lower the chance of lung complications. It may help improve recovery and reduce post-surgery breathing problems.
This study is testing how different ventilator settings (the machine that breathes for you during surgery) affect your lungs after surgery. They will use ultrasound to check for lung problems in the first 2 hours after surgery to see which setting is best for recovery.
This study looks at how pediatric patients do after different types of planned and unplanned surgeries at participating hospitals. It may help doctors improve care and safety for children undergoing surgery.
This study looks at how well a type of keyhole surgery through the nose works for removing tumors at the base of the skull. It aims to see how much of the tumor can be removed and how patients recover.
This study looks at how the position you are placed in during surgery affects your lungs afterward. Doctors will use a simple ultrasound to check for lung collapse (atelectasis) after your operation, to try to find better ways to prevent it.
