Authors' conclusion
This study identified preoperative variables that predict perioperative outcome metrics for CBT excision.

Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- Preoperative diagnosis of essential hypertension correlated with intraoperative hypotension requiring therapy
- Preoperative hypertension on the day of surgery did not correlate with intraoperative hemodynamics
- Surgical duration increased with male biologic sex, tumor greatest dimension and tumor volume
- Blood loss significantly positively correlated with BMI, tumor greatest dimension and tumor volume
- Hospital LOS increased with tumor greatest dimension and tumor volume
