Sex-specific disparities in postoperative adverse events following intracranial tumor surgery: insights from a tertiary neurosurgical center.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Growing evidence suggests that patient sex may influence perioperative outcomes in neurosurgery, yet the extent to which gender differences shape morbidity following intracranial tumor resection remains unclear. Elucidating these disparities is essential for refining risk stratification, tailoring perioperative management, and improving resource allocation in neuro-oncological practice.

Methods

A prospective single-center observational study was performed between January 2023 and December 2023, enrolling all adult patients undergoing surgery for for intracranial mass lesions (neoplasms and tumor-like non-neoplastic inflammatory lesions). Perioperative data, including demographic variables, tumor pathology, and adverse events (AEs) within 30 days of surgery, were r
