Same-day discharge after brain tumor resection: a prospective pilot study.

In select patients undergoing brain tumor surgery, same day discharge should be considered. Establishing a multidisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, radiologists, and physical therapists is critical to achieving this aim. Physicians should have a low threshold to admit a patient with concerning exam findings, complications, or complicated past medical history. Once discharged, open communication with the patient and their family is critical to detect complications that should trigger rehospitalization and intervention.
