[Transseptal surgery of the sellar region from the neurosurgical viewpoint]

The indication for the transsphenoidal procedure in tumors of the sellar region is being presented. The authors prefer the transseptal - transsphenoidal approach after cut in the orifice of the nasal cavity. ENT-surgeon and neurosurgeon perform the operation together. Advantages and disadvantages as well as the necessity of the transfrontal operation on the one hand and the transnasal approach on the other hand are discussed. There were no severe complications in the cases jointly operated on and thus confirmed the results established by other authors.
