POSTOPERATIVE BLEEDING, COMPLICATIONS, INFECTED HEMATOMA
Textbook Outcome was achieved in 96/102 (94%) in the RM group versus 98/100 (98%) in the SC group (No mortality was encountered. Mild complications registered in the RM group were a prescription of oral antibiotics to treat an infected hematoma and a endoscopic clipping on postoperative day one requiring readmission after initial same-day discharge. In the SC group, a Computed Tomography of the cerebrum was performed on a patient who had fallen on postoperative day one, while still admitted in hospital. The scan showed no abnormalities. Severe complications included three patients from the RM group who required re-surgery due to postoperative bleeding. Two of these patients were readmitted on postoperative day two after initial same-day discharge. The third patient underwent re-surgery on postoperative day two and remained in hospital for four consecutive days. These patients with a complicated postoperative course did not use anticoagulation medication. Beside these complications, none of the patients had a prolonged hospital stay. In the RM and SC groups each, one patient was readmitted on postoperative day one after teleconsultation and on day four, respectively. Both readmissions were for observation of nausea and vomiting (Clavien-Dindo 1). There was no need to administer intravenous fluids.
