Endoscopic Endonasal Transsphenoidal Surgery

2002
The existence of a route through the nose to the brain that avoided disfiguring the face was well known to the Egyptians (2600 BC), who used to insert special hooked instruments up through the nostril and the sphenoid sinus to extract the brain in the mummification process.

Complications of Transsphenoidal Surgery

Journal of Neuroscience Nursing, 1985
Transsphenoidal surgery has many advantages in providing access to the sella turcica. It is associated with relatively low morbidity and mortality but it should be recognized that it is not without risk. Often, signs and symptoms of complications from transsphenoidal surgery are observed by the nurse.

The supine position for transsphenoidal surgery

Neurosurgical Review, 1994
The supine position has been routinely used for transphenoidal microsurgery in our department since 1973. We had 404 patients, 387 of whom had pituitary micro-or macroadenomas. It is always satisfactory, allowing a very good control of intraoperative arterial pressure and prevention of air embolism. It is also comfortable for both surgeons.

Frameless Stereotaxy for Transsphenoidal Surgery

Neurosurgery, 1999
To evaluate the utility of performing transsphenoidal surgery with computer-assisted image guidance.Thirty-seven patients underwent transsphenoidal surgery in which a frameless stereotactic system was used to confirm the trajectory to the sella and to locate the anatomic midline.

Transsphenoidal Surgery for Tumors of the Clivus

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1984
Chordoma of the clivus is an uncommon lesion that can be difficult to manage. The transsphenoidal approach is useful in many cases and can provide the optimal means of exposure for lesions of the midclivus. In selected cases this route may be used for biopsy, for radical surgical removal, and for palliation of extensive or recurrent lesions.

Patients Simulator for Transsphenoidal Surgery

2018 International Symposium on Micro-NanoMechatronics and Human Science (MHS), 2018
We developed “Bionic Brain” which was equipped with cranial base module to train for transsphenoidal surgery. In the transsphenoidal surgery training by using this Bionic Brain, the user can insert an endoscope and a curette into the nose and sphenoid sinus, and remove tumors from the pituitary gland.

Transsphenoidal Surgery for Pituitary Tumors

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice
Transsphenoidal surgery for the treatment of pituitary masses in cats and dogs has become a more established treatment over the last 2 decades. Although expert centers and surgeons that provide this service remain limited, the patient population presented for pituitary surgery increases with wider availability of advanced imaging, together with more ...

The history and evolution of transsphenoidal surgery

Journal of Neurosurgery, 2001
✓ Initial attempts at transcranial approaches to the pituitary gland in the late 1800s and early 1900s resulted in a mortality rate that was generally considered prohibitive. Schloffer suggested the use of a transsphenoidal route as a safer, alternative approach to the sella turcica. He reported the first successful removal of a pituitary tumor via the

Intraoperative MRI in transsphenoidal surgery

Acta Neurochirurgica, 2014
Over the years, several preand intraoperative diagnostic techniques have been introduced to optimize the results of transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary adenomas. Preoperative diagnostic measures routinely consist of a CT scan and an MRI of the sellar region for visualization of the paranasal sinuses and the tumor and for data acquisition for ...

Augmented Reality in Transsphenoidal Surgery

World Neurosurgery, 2019
We investigated how augmented reality (AR) can be applied to support transsphenoidal surgery.AR was established using the head-up displays integrated into operating microscopes. Navigation registration was performed with either fiducial-based or automatic registration using intraoperative computed tomography (iCT).
