In this paper the authors report the complications of elective and emergency ETV and their surgical management in 412 patients from July 2006 to October 2012 at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (a government hospital) and other private hospitals in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The authors attempted some previously undescribed simple maneuvers that may help to overcome the difficulties of managing complications.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The complication rate was determined by recording intraoperative changes in pulse and blood pressure, bleeding episodes, serum electrolyte abnormalities, CSF leakage, and neurological deterioration in the immediate postoperative period.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Intraoperative complications included hemodynamic alterations in the form of tachycardia, bradycardia, and hypertension. Bleeding was categorized as major in 2 cases and minor in 68 cases. Delayed recovery from anesthesia occurred in 14 cases, CSF leakage from the wound in 11 cases, and electrolyte imbalance in 5 cases. Postoperatively, 2 patients suffered convulsions and 1 had evidence of third cranial nerve injury. Three patients died as a result of complications.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Complications during endoscopy can lead to serious consequences that may sometimes be very difficult to manage. The authors have identified and managed a large number of complications in this series, although the rate of complications is consistent with that in other reported series. These complications should be kept in mind perioperatively by both surgeons and anesthesiologists, as prompt detection and action can help minimize the risks associated with neuroendoscopic procedures.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2014.11.jns14395","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,5,29]],"date-time":"2015-05-29T14:09:17Z","timestamp":1432908557000},"page":"1414-1419","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Avoidance and management of perioperative complications of endoscopic third ventriculostomy: the Dhaka experience"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"123","author":[{"given":"Khandkar A.","family":"Kawsar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammod R.","family":"Haque","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Forhad H.","family":"Chowdhury","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1-jns14395","series-title":"J Neurosurg Anesthesiol","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"262","DOI":"10.1097\/00008506-200007000-00011","article-title":"Neuroendoscopic procedures: anesthetic considerations for a growing trend: a review","volume":"12","author":"Ambesh","year":"2000"},{"key":"b2-jns14395","series-title":"Minim Invasive Neurosurg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"154","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2002-34339","article-title":"Intraoperative bradycardia and postoperative hyperkalemia in patients undergoing endoscopic third ventriculostomy","volume":"45","author":"Anandh","year":"2002"},{"key":"b3-jns14395","series-title":"J Neurosurg Anesthesiol","first-page":"33","article-title":"Ten years of experience with pediatric neuroendoscopic third ventriculostomy: features and perioperative complications of 210 cases","volume":"17","author":"Baykan","year":"2005"},{"key":"b4-jns14395","series-title":"Neuroendoscopy","first-page":"109","article-title":"Ventriculoscopic management of colloid cysts of the third ventricle","author":"Cohen","year":"1992"},{"key":"b5-jns14395","series-title":"Middle East J Anaesthesiol","first-page":"847","article-title":"Anesthesia for third ventriculostomy.
