OBJECTIVE The two most recent significant advances in pituitary surgery have been the endonasal endoscopic approach and intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (IMRI). Each provides improved visualization of intra- and parasellar anatomy with the goal of attaining a complete resection. The combination of the two techniques has not been previously reported in the literature. METHODS We perfo...

This study aimed to measure the incidence of tumor progression among patients that underwent endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary adenomas, as well performance molecular and radiological factors are commonly associated with progression. Patients both adult pediatric populations adenomas who were treated first time in a single tertiary care center, between June 2006 December 2019, in...

Asian people frequently show small noses, narrow nasal apertures, and congestive mucosa on the turbinates and septum. To reduce the risk of nasal morbidity with increased radicality for skull base tumors in these patients, we developed endoscopic transnasal interseptal approach (ETISA) in transsphenoidal surgery for invasive clival tumors (ICTs). Indication for ETISA is radical resection for tu...
