Sublabial, transseptal, transsphenoidal approach to the pituitary region guided by the ACUSTAR I system.
OBJECTIVE Advances in imaging resolution have resulted in superior visualization of intracranial anatomy. Because of the inherent complexity of the surgical exposure of these lesions, intraoperative localizing techniques are required. Currently, C-arm fluoroscopy provides only two-dimensional localization for these anatomic structures. The recently described ACUSTAR I system, developed in conju...
متن کاملNovel closure technique for the endonasal transsphenoidal approach. Technical note.
Transsphenoidal microsurgery has been the standard approach to sellar lesions since the repopularization of the technique with modifications by Dott, Guiot, and Hardy. The endonasal transseptal transsphenoidal approach, as introduced by Hirsch, is still commonly used by pituitary surgeons to remove lesions of the sellar and parasellar region. One disadvantage of this approach is that the submuc...
متن کاملExperience with sublabial transseptal transsphenoidal hypophysectomy at the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia.
The transseptal transsphenoidal hypophysectomy has become a relatively frequent procedure in recent years. We performed 20 such procedures between January 1984 and December 1987 for various pituitary disorders. Significant complications such as CSF rhinorrhea, meningitis, diabetes insipidus, haemorrhage and septal perforation are discussed. The mortality rate for the series was 5%. In analysing...
متن کاملSuperior Turbinectomy: Role for a Two-surgeon Technique in Endoscopic Endonasal Transsphenoidal Surgery—Technical Note
We describe a practical technique of superior turbinectomy followed by posterior ethmoidectomy as a less invasive procedure for two-surgeon technique on endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery. After identification of the superior turbinate and the sphenoid ostium, the inferior third portion of the superior turbinate was coagulated and resected. This partial superior turbinectomy procedure...

gical techniques in the last three years has been one of the most dramatic changes in the field of cardiology in some time. It is fair to say that although improvements and results are being published almost monthly in the cardiac surgery literature, these approaches are still in their infancy. Access to the heart through small incisions (8–10 cm) has received a lot of attention and many patien...
