Demographic characteristics of the patients and their tumors with their postoperative outcomes were recorded.

Statistical analysis was performed between the pre- and post-protocol groups.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003There was a significant reduction in laboratory studies sent per patient (55.66 vs. 18.82, p &lt;0.001). This corresponded with an overall cost reduction in laboratory studies of $255.95 per patient. There was a decrease in the overall number of patients treated with DDAVP (21.4% in the pre-protocol group vs. 8.9% in the post-protocol group, p\u2009=\u20090.04). All post-protocol patients requiring DDAVP at discharge were identified by 48\u2009hours. There was no significant change in length of stay or need for hydrocortisone supplementation postoperatively between the two groups. Length of stay was driven mostly by need for reoperation during initial hospitalization. There was no significant change in the rate of 30-day readmission.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003Implementation of a postoperative management protocol results in a more efficient
