Abstract

The efficacy of spinal drain (SD) placement for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage prevention after the anterior transpetrosal approach (ATPA) remains unclear. Thus, we aimed to assess whether postoperative SD placement improved postoperative CSF leakage after a skull base reconstruction procedure using a small abdominal fat and pericranial flap and clarify whether bed rest with postoperative SD placement increased the length of hospital stay. This retrospective cohort study included 48 patients who underwent primary surgery using ATPA between August 2011 and February 2022. All cases underwent SD placement preoperatively. First, we evaluated the necessity of SD placement for CSF leakage prevention by comparing the postoperative routine continuous SD placement period to a period in which the SD was removed immediately after surgery. Second, the effects of different SD placement durations were evaluated to understand the adverse effects of SD placement requiring bed rest. No patient with or without postoperative continuous SD placement developed CSF leakage. The median postoperative time to first ambulation was 3 days shorter (P < 0.05), and the length of hospital stay was 7 days shorter (P < 0.05) for patients who underwent SD removal immediately after surgery (2 and 12 days, respectively) than for those who underwent SD removal on postoperative day 1 (5 and 19 days, respectively). This skull base reconstruction technique was effective in preventing CSF leakage in patients undergoing ATPA, and postoperative SD placement was not necessary. Removing the SD immediately after surgery can lead to earlier postoperative ambulation and shorter hospital stay by reducing medical complications and improving functional capacity.
