Patients with advanced tumor were 6.7 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.36\u201032.7) times more likely to undergo preoperative embolization and 8.53 (95% CI: 2.011\u201036.19) times more likely to sustain carotid artery injury. Advanced\u2010stage tumor resections were associated with greater blood loss (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .03) and longer hospitalization (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .02). Collaborative surgeries were associated with higher rates of carotid artery injury (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .003), residual tumor (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.001), and longer hospitalization (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .003), as these combined cases were generally reserved for advanced\u2010stage tumors (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .02). There were no differences in outcomes between specialties.
