Outcomes of the Transsphenoidal Approach for Pituitary Adenomas in Elderly Patients

Microscopic Transsphenoidal Surgery for Pituitary Adenomas in Children and Adolescents

Background & Aim: We described the presentation, management and subsequent treatment outcomes of children and adolescents diagnosed with a pituitary adenoma in a joint neuroendocrine setting followed up by a single service as well as assessing long-term outcomes in terms of endocrine status and neurology symptoms. Methods & Materials/Patients: A total of 21 participants with histologically v...

Endoscopic Endonasal Transsphenoidal Approach for Pituitary Adenomas: a Prospective Review of Our Early Experience

Background & Aim: Pituitary adenomas are a part of a dissimilar group of benign neoplasms.
