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...

Complications within 30 days of surgery occurred in 17% of endoscopic operations vs. 27% of microscopic operations (p > 0.05).

The endoscopic technique performed better as a surgical procedure for pituitary adenomas.
