Olfactory outcomes after endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery.
BACKGROUND Olfaction has been demonstrated to have a great impact on patients' lives. Transsphenoidal endoscopic pituitary surgery is associated with potentially significant damage to olfactory tissues, but to date this issue has been only poorly documented in the literature. STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort study comparing olfactory outcomes pre- and postpituitary surgery. METHOD Patients w...
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. We present our experience with the first ninety patients to demonstrate our way of operating. Endoscopic pituitary surgery is perf...
متن کاملManagement of Pituitary Adenomas: Mononostril Endoscopic Transsphenoidal Surgery
Introduction: The endoscopic transsphenoidal approach for pituitary adenomas and other sellar lesions is quickly becoming the procedure of choice in their surgical management. The most common approach is binostril three-hand technique which requires a large exposure and subjects both nasal cavities to potential trauma. To reduce nasal morbidity, we employ a mononostril two-hand technique with t...
متن کاملOlfactory functions after transsphenoidal pituitary surgery: endoscopic versus microscopic approach.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Olfactory disturbances could be observed following transsphenoidal pituitary surgeries. To our knowledge, no previous comparative studies on olfactory functions after transsphenoidal endoscopic and microscopic approaches have been performed. STUDY DESIGN Prospective study comparing olfactory functions between endoscopic and microscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery. ...
متن کاملEndonasal endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery for pituitary adenoma: a retrospective analysis of surgical outcome.
The purpose of this retrospective joint rhino-neurosurgical study from January 1998 until September 2009 is to document the demographic data, clinical presentations, radiological findings, approaches and incidence of residual tumour. Forty-seven patients with pituitary adenoma underwent trans-sphenoidal hypophysectomy of which 25 patients with complete medical and radiological data were include...
