[Analysis of factors of intracranial infection after transnasal endoscopic crannialbase approach].

Abstract

OBJECTIVE:

To analyze the factors of intracranial infection after transnasal endoscopic crannialbase approach.

METHOD:

Retrospective analysis of 346 patients of ransnasal endoscopic crannialbase approach, logistic regression analysis of the factors was carried out.

RESULT:

The total number of cases of postoperative infections were 19 cases in 346 patients, the infection rate was 5.49%. The cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea , the restitution of skull base, the history of crannialbase approach, the history of radiotherapy and diabetes were infection fators after transnasal endoscopic diabetes (P < 0.05), while sex,age,operative approach,the use of artificial material,longer application of antibiotics before or after operation,and the history of chemotherapy had no obvious effects (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSION:

Intracranial infection after transnasal endoscopic the use of artificial material was affected by many factors. Much attention should be paid for the intracranial infection prevention.
