Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on the risks of postoperative hypokalemia in patients who underwent endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary tumors, emphasizing its potential complications and the importance of early identification of risk factors.
- - Out of 168 patients analyzed, 10.7% experienced hypokalemia primarily around the fourth day post-surgery, though most did not show noticeable symptoms.
- - Key risk factors identified include age (those aged ≥50 years) and the presence of hypoalbuminemia on the first postoperative day, suggesting that monitoring electrolytes should be prioritized in these patients to prevent complications.
Background: Delayed symptomatic hyponatremia (DSH) is one of the common complications following endoscopic endonasal surgery (EES). Currently, published studies have predominantly focused on delayed postoperative hyponatremia, while there is relatively limited research on DSH.
Methods: We analyzed 175 consecutive cases from a single center between 2019 and 2023, involving patients who underwent EES for pituitary adenoma or Rathke's cleft cyst, all histopathologically confirmed.
Background: To identify high-risk patients for delayed postoperative hyponatremia (DPH) early, we constructed a simple and effective scoring system.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 141 consecutive patients who underwent endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery from January 2019 to December 2022. Patients were divided into DPH group and nondelayed postoperative hyponatremia group based on whether hyponatremia occurred after the third postoperative day.
A 54-year-old female with diabetes was admitted with fever and altered consciousness. Laboratory tests revealed venous blood glucose level of 43.79 mmol/L.
