Endoscopic Endonasal Transsphenoidal Surgery in Regional Sellar Lesions (Surgical trial)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction. Endonasal endoscopic approach has entered recently like a strong option for pituitary tumors treatment. Material and method. A prospective, controlled, randomized and double blind surgical assay was carried out in 41 patients with regional sellar lesions between August 2002 and July 2004. Effectiveness of this method in relation to the microscopic transphenoidal one was evaluated. Results. Forty one patients were intervened (21 microscopic and 20 endoscopic), adenoma’s Total resections were achieved in 71,4 and 70% and one empty sella was resolved by each technique. Associated complications were presented in 66,6 and 30% respectively. They were higher in endoscopic operations. Conclusions. Regional sellar lesions can be treated by Endoscopic surgery with similar effectiveness and less complications.

Endonasal Endoscopic Transsphenoidal Approach to Lesions of the Sellar Region in Pediatric Patients
OBJECTIVE Endoscopic endonasal (transnasal) transsphenoidal approach (EETA) for management of sellar lesions has gained popularity as a reliable and atraumatic method. Most reported studies of EETA have focused on surgical outcome in adult patients; and there are few reports to describe outcome in pediatric patients. The authors report our early experience of 11 patients aged 14 to 18 years man...

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...
