COMPARISON OF TRANSCRANIAL AND TRANSSPHENOIDAL APPROACHES IN INTRA AND SUPRASELLAR PITUITARY ADENOMAS - SYSTEMATIC
Summary
Transsphenoidal surgery is preferred for pituitary adenomas, with extended approaches showing great potential. Craniotomy may be necessary for large tumors, and combined approaches are recommended for giant adenomas to maximize resection and minimize complications.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Endocrinology
- Oncology
Background:
- Pituitary adenomas are common intracranial tumors causing hormonal imbalances and vision problems.
- Surgical approach selection is critical for optimal patient outcomes.
