Description
Summary:The article by Luis Padevit et al. provides a thorough analysis of multiple craniotomies for brain metastases using propensity score matching and statistical analysis. Their findings suggest that multiple craniotomies do not increase adverse events or morbidity. However, the study lacks detailed analysis of specific surgical factors and minimally invasive techniques, which are crucial for patient selection, surgical planning, and outcomes. Including detailed preoperative tumor sizes, extent of resection, and long-term outcomes would enhance understanding and improve surgical techniques, ultimately benefiting patient care.
