Impact of endoscopic endonasal pituitary surgery on nasal airway patency
Background: Nose is used as a corridor in endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach (EETSA) for pituitary adenoma. Thus, it may affect the nasal airway patency, function and sinonasal-related quality of life. The aim of this study is to objectively and subjectively evaluate these effects. Methods: In this prospective study, 43 patients with pituitary adenoma who were c...
متن کاملEndoscopic endonasal pituitary and skull base surgery.
Here we describe the procedures of endoscopic pituitary and skull base surgery in our institute. We also review the literature to reveal recent advances in this field. Endonasal approach via the sphenoid ostium was carried out for pituitary lesions without the nasal speculum. Postoperative nasal packing was basically not needed in such cases. For meningiomas, craniopharyngiomas, and giant pitui...

متن کاملEndoscopic endonasal pituitary surgery: a rhinologist point of view
Endoscopic endonasal approaches are increasingly becoming the state of art in transsphenoidal pituitary surgery. The goal of this study is first to briefly introduce nasal and sphenoidal phases of the approach along with reconstruction phase. Then, the key points of radiologic studies of various parts of the surgery with images and movies are discussed. Difficult cases from 350 surgeries will b...
متن کاملEndonasal endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery for pituitary adenoma: a retrospective analysis of surgical outcome.
