Endoscopic vs. microscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery: a single centre study
Abstract Endoscopic pituitary surgery has shown promising results. This study reports the experiences of experienced microscopic pituitary surgeons changing to the endoscopic technique, and the beneficial effects on the postoperative outcomes. 45 transsphenoidal endoscopic-assisted surgeries perform...

Abstract Endoscopic pituitary surgery has shown promising results. This study reports the experiences of experienced microscopic pituitary surgeons changing to the endoscopic technique, and the beneficial effects on the postoperative outcomes. 45 transsphenoidal endoscopic-assisted surgeries performed in 2016–2017 were compared with 195 microscope-assisted surgeries performed in 2007–2017 for pituitary adenoma.
