Fatal antiphospholipid syndrome following endoscopic transnasal-transsphenoidal surgery for a pituitary tumor
INTRODUCTION The fatal type of antiphospholipid syndrome is a rare but life-threating condition. It may be triggered by surgery or infection. Endoscopic transnasal-transsphenoidal surgery is a common procedure for pituitary tumor. We report a catastrophic case of a young woman died of fatal antiphospholipid syndrome following endoscopic transnasal-transsphenoidal surgery. METHODS AND RESULT A...
متن کامل[Endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery].
Endoscopic surgery has been performed in our Department since 1996 as assistance in micro-neurosurgical procedures. In the same way the endoscope was used in transsphenoidal pituitary surgery, but from the beginning of 2004 we started with "pure" endoscopic surgery.

To reduce nasal morbidity, we employ a mononostril two-hand technique with t...
متن کاملForces Applied at the Skull Base during Transnasal Endoscopic Transsphenoidal Pituitary Tumor Excision.
Objectives Our laboratory is developing a surgical robotic system to further improve dexterity and visualization that will allow for broader application of transnasal skull base surgery. To optimize this system, intraoperative force data are required. Using a modified curette, force data were recorded and analyzed during pituitary tumor excision. Design A neurosurgical curette was modified by t...
متن کاملOlfactory outcomes after endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery.
