Endoscopic endonasal surgery (EES) offers a minimally invasive approach for removing benign tumors like pituitary adenomas. This Belgian study highlights EES

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Endocrinology

Background:

  • Endoscopic endonasal surgery (EES) is increasingly utilized for complex skull base pathologies.
  • Experience in sinonasal inflammatory disease management facilitates EES for tumors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To document the Belgian experience with EES for benign tumors.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and advantages of EES in a specific patient cohort.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 49 cases undergoing EES for benign tumors.
  • Surgical techniques included powered instrumentation and CO2 laser.
  • Tumor removal assessed for completeness (total or partial).

Main Results:

  • 33 out of 49 cases involved pituitary adenomas.

  • Successful tumor removal was achieved in all cases, either totally or partially.
  • Associated benefits included reduced costs, shorter hospital stays, and lower morbidity.

    • Conclusions:

    • EES is a successful and advantageous surgical approach for various benign tumors, including pituitary adenomas.
    • Surgeons must be prepared to convert to external approaches if necessary.
    • This technique offers significant benefits over traditional methods.
