Indication and Limitations of Endoscopic Extended Transsphenoidal Surgery for Craniopharyngioma
The transsphenoidal approach has been utilized in intrasellar craniopharyngioma surgeries. However, the advent of endoscopic extended transsphenoidal approach (EETSA) has expanded its indication to suprasellar craniopharyngiomas. We compared the indication and limitations of EETSA to those of unilateral basal interhemispheric approach (UBIHA), which presents similar indications for surgery. We ...

To reduce nasal morbidity, we employ a mononostril two-hand technique with t...
