The goal of this American Rhinologic Society expert practice statement (EPS) is to summarize the best available evidence regarding postoperative precautions for patients following endoscopic skull base surgery for intradural pathology. These topics include the administration of postoperative nasal hygiene; patient mobilization and activity level; the resumption of continuous positive airway pressure in patients with obstructive sleep apnea; and the timing and capacity with which a patient may be subjected to barotrauma, such as air travel postoperatively. This EPS was developed following the recommended methodology and approval process as previously outlined.

Nevertheless, the literature exploring the safety of these procedures remains limited. The objective of this study was to further evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of these procedures with a more robust sample size to allow for capture of rare events.
