Abstract
Disorders of water-electrolyte balance frequently complicate the postoperative management of neurosurgical patients, mainly after surgery of the hypothalamus and the pituitary region [9]. In order to gain insight into the selection of optimal treatment, we tried to characterize this postoperative water-electrolyte dysregula-tion in a large patient population using newly available laboratory methods.
