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...

Transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary adenomas

Management 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...

Adenomas Pituitary in Children And Adolescents

Pituitary tumors are rare in childhood and adolescence, with a reported prevalence of up to 1 per million children. Although pituitary tumors are rare in childhood and adolescence, and are typically histologically benign, significant morbidity may result due to their location, mass effect, and/or interference with normal pituitary hormone functions. The frequency of macro adenomas and aggressiv...

Olfactory 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. ...
