This article examines the impact of frailty on postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing open and endoscopic resection of olfactory groove meningiomas. The study included 19 patients, with 6 undergoing endoscopic resection and 13 undergoing open craniotomy. The results showed that frailty metrics, such as the Charlson Comorbidity Index and modified 5-item frailty index, were not associated with postoperative complications or poor neurologic outcomes. However, a prior history of cranial radiation was associated with complications in open cases. The study suggests a need to reconsider traditional frailty measures in these surgical procedures.
