Description
Summary:In the current neurosurgical field, there is a constant emphasis on providing the best care with the most value. Such work requires the constant optimization of not only surgical but also perioperative services. Recent work has demonstrated the power of standardized techniques in limiting complication while promoting optimal outcomes. In this review article, protocols addressing operative and perioperative care for common pediatric neurosurgical procedures are discussed. These articles address how various institutions have optimized procedures through standardization. Our objective is to improve patient outcomes through the optimization of protocols.
