ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the complications that can occur after surgery to remove tumors located at the base of the skull. These tumors can be tricky to operate on because they are near important parts of the brain and nerves. The goal of the trial is to better understand how to manage patients during and after this type of surgery, as many people experience complications afterward.

To participate in this trial, you must be at least 18 years old and in generally good health (a physical status of I to III, meaning no serious health issues). You should be scheduled for elective surgery to remove a skull base tumor and be able to provide written consent. However, if you have serious heart, liver, or lung conditions, or if you have had certain heart problems recently, you may not be eligible. Participants in this trial can expect to be closely monitored during their surgery and recovery, and their experiences will help researchers improve care for future patients.
