There was no association between BMI and post\u2010operative intracranial hemorrhage, wound infection, or incomplete resection (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &gt; 0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed BMI was associated with CSF leak (odds ratio 1.11 per BMI point, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.002) and need for revision surgery (odds ratio 1.07 per BMI point, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.02) independent of age, gender, tumor size, or surgical approach.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The largest series to date investigating BMI in acoustic surgery is presented.
