Complications following primary and revision transsphenoidal surgeries for pituitary tumors.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS This study aimed to determine the incidence of major complications following both primary and revision transsphenoidal pituitary surgery. Major complications included endocrinopathic, skull base, orbital, hemorrhagic and thromboembolic complications, respiratory failure, and death.

متن کاملRecent developments in transsphenoidal surgery of pituitary tumors.
est procedures in contemporary neurosurgical practice. However, complications can occur during or after this procedure, some of which can be associated with significant morbidity and, rarely, also with mortality 1. Thus, there are still areas in need of improvement 2. As might be expected, neurosurgeons have tried to develop strategies and new technical tools to improve the surgical outcome. As...
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 کاملSimplified CT-guided stereotaxic biopsy.
A stereotaxic frame worn during computed tomographic (CT) scanning of the head produces landmarks in each section that are used to relate section coordinates to frame coordinates. A small, commercially available, programmable calculator is used to interrelate frame and CT section geometry. The system can be used with any CT scanner that can specify (x,y) coordinates of a pixel, obviating the ne...
متن کاملDay 5 morning serum cortisol predicts hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal function after transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary tumors.
BACKGROUND Adrenal insufficiency is a complication of transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) for pituitary adenoma, and correct identification of patients requiring glucocorticoid replacement is important. Controversy exists over which early postoperative 9 AM cortisol concentration reliably predicts hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis reserve, as defined by the insulin tolerance test (ITT). MET...
