Endocrinological and ophthalmological consequences of an initial endonasal endoscopic approach for resection of craniopharyngiomas.
OBJECT The expanded endoscopic approach to craniopharyngiomas has recently been described in several small case series. The authors present their experience with this technique and review the available literature. METHODS Between September 2006 and September 2009, 14 patients underwent a purely endoscopic, endonasal approach for resection of newly diagnosed craniopharyngiomas. These procedure...
متن کاملAn Effective Technique for Endoscopic Resection of Advanced Stage Angiofibroma
Introduction: In recent years, the surgical management of angiofibroma has been greatly influenced by the use of endoscopic techniques. However, large tumors that extend into difficult anatomic sites present major challenges for management by either endoscopy or an open-surgery approach which needs new technique for the complete en block resection.

متن کاملEndonasal resection of craniopharyngiomas.
Gardner and colleagues have described their series of 16 patients who underwent an endoscopic, expanded endonasal approach (EEA) for craniopharyngioma between 1999 and 2006. The primary outcomes of their study included the following: endocrine and ophthalmological results, extent of resection, and complications. The majority of their patients underwent planned complete resection. In these patie...
متن کاملEarly outcome in endoscopic extended endonasal approach for removal of supradiaphragmatic craniopharyngiomas: a case series and a comprehensive review
BACKGROUND The choice of endoscopic expanded endonasal approach introduces the possibility of improved gross total resection of craniopharyngioma while minimizing surgical morbidity in a significant subset of patients. METHODS From our trans-sphenoidal surgical series of 331 cases, we retrospectively reviewed visual, endocrine and neuro-cognitive outcomes in the first consecutive eight patien...
متن کاملOutcomes following endoscopic, expanded endonasal resection of suprasellar craniopharyngiomas: a case series.
OBJECT Craniopharyngiomas are challenging tumors that most frequently occur in the sellar or suprasellar regions. Microscopic transsphenoidal resections with various extensions and variations have been performed with good results. The addition of the endoscope as well as the further expansion of the standard and extended transsphenoidal approaches has not been well evaluated for the treatment o...
