    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Endocrinology
    • Surgical Anatomy

    Background:

    • The pituitary gland is a critical endocrine organ.
    • Surgical access to the pituitary gland can be challenging.
    • Minimally invasive techniques are sought to improve patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the transpalatal trans-sphenoidal surgical approach.
    • To present a case series of patients undergoing this procedure.
    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of this surgical technique.

    Main Methods:

    • A transpalatal trans-sphenoidal surgical technique was utilized.
    • The approach involves accessing the sphenoid sinus via the palate.
    • Ten consecutive cases were retrospectively reviewed.

    Main Results:

    • The transpalatal trans-sphenoidal approach provided excellent access to the pituitary gland.
    • The procedure was associated with low rates of morbidity.
    • Patients experienced good cosmetic results post-surgery.

    Conclusions:

    • The transpalatal trans-sphenoidal approach is a viable and advantageous technique for pituitary gland surgery.
    • This method combines surgical efficacy with patient-centered benefits.
    • Further research may explore its application in specific pituitary pathologies.
