    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Otolaryngology

    Background:

    • Transsphenoidal hypophysectomy, pioneered by Cushing, remains a fundamental neurosurgical approach.
    • Surgical advancements have focused on refining instrumentation and techniques for accessing the sella turcica via the nasal passage.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the external rhinoplasty approach as a refinement for transsphenoidal hypophysectomy.

    Main Methods:

    • The external rhinoplasty technique was employed for transsphenoidal hypophysectomy in 14 patients over a two-year period (June 1982 - June 1984).

    Main Results:

    • This approach proved to be a simple, reliable, and rapid method for exposing the nasal septum and floor.
    • It provided excellent visualization of the sphenoid sinus and pituitary gland.

  • The technique preserved nasal tip projection and avoided cosmetic deformities.

    • Conclusions:

    • The external rhinoplasty approach represents a significant refinement in transsphenoidal hypophysectomy.
    • It offers a safe and effective method for pituitary surgery with favorable cosmetic outcomes.
