Abstract:
The degree of recovery of vision is reported in 67 patients who underwent transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary adenomas compressing the visual pathways. There were no deaths, but 14 patients experienced postoperative complications. Overall, 88% showed visual improvement, 7% were unchanged and 4% were worse after surgery.
