Endoscopic pituitary surgery offers superior visualization and a wider perspective compared to traditional methods. The direct endonasal transsphenoidal approach is minimally invasive, allowing for more efficient tumor removal.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Endoscopic Surgery

Background:

  • Traditional transsphenoidal surgery uses an operating microscope.
  • Endoscopic techniques offer potential advantages in visualization and access.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the advantages of endoscopic pituitary surgery.
  • To compare endoscopic techniques with traditional microscopic methods.

Main Methods:

  • Direct endonasal transsphenoidal approach using an endoscope.
  • Comparison of visualization, access, and surgical efficiency.

Main Results:

  • Endoscopic surgery provides improved visualization, angled views, and a panoramic perspective.
  • The endonasal approach offers wider access and avoids septoplasty.

  • Allows for simultaneous work by two surgeons, enhancing instrumentation and tumor removal speed and completeness.

    • Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic pituitary surgery offers significant benefits over the operating microscope.
    • The direct endonasal transsphenoidal approach is a highly effective minimally invasive technique for pituitary tumor removal.
