Abstract

This scientific review article addresses the topic of postoperative complications in neurosurgery, focusing on prevention and management strategies. The introduction provides context on the importance of these complications, highlighting the challenges they pose for patients and healthcare professionals. The methodology describes the search strategy used to identify relevant studies, including the databases searched, search terms, and inclusion/exclusion criteria. In the synthesis of results, the main findings from the reviewed studies are grouped by type of intervention and discussed in detail, highlighting the effectiveness of different approaches and strategies. The discussion addresses the implications of the results, including limitations of the reviewed studies and recommendations for future research. Finally, the conclusion summarizes the main findings and highlights the best practices identified, emphasizing the ongoing importance of research in this area. Keywords: postoperative complications; neurosurgery; prevention; management; scientific review.
