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.

Microscope transsphenoidal surgery

Acta Neurochirurgica, 2012
The transsphenoidal approach to the pituitary using the microscope has undergone continuous modification since its introduction by Hardy over 50 years ago. It is one of the most effective and safest of major neurosurgical procedures with excellent outcomes and low complication rates.Although being displaced by the endoscopic approach, it remains the ...

Pituitary Surgery: Transsphenoidal Approach

Neurosurgery, 2002
THE TRANSSPHENOIDAL APPROACH for sellar tumors has evolved significantly since it was described initially during the first decade of the 20th century. The approach currently incorporates technological advancements and refinements in patient selection, operative technique, and postoperative care.

Endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery

Journal of Neuro-Oncology, 2001
Endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery was developed under a minimally invasive surgical strategy. This endonasal transsphenoidal endoscopy eliminates a sublabial or transfixional incision, the use of a transsphenoidal retractor and any nasal packing.Reported are 160 patients who had undergone endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery from 1993 to 1999.

Endoscopy and Transsphenoidal Surgery

Neurosurgery, 2004
ENDOSCOPY OFFERS INTERNAL visualization of many different cavities of the human body, with its specific vision inside the anatomy, close to the target area. The view of the surgical field in transsphenoidal surgery had been obtained with the naked eye from its beginning in 1907 up to the introduction of the operating microscope by Jules Hardy in the ...

Pituitary gland recovery following fully endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery for nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma: results of a prospective multicenter study.

Journal of Neurosurgery, 2019
OBJECTIVE Recovery from preexisting hypopituitarism after transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary adenoma is an important outcome to investigate. Furthermore, pituitary function has not been thoroughly evaluated after fully endoscopic surgery, and ...

Evolution of Transsphenoidal Surgery

2003
The transsphenoidal route is the dominant approach to the pituitary and sellar area and is utilized for more than 95% of the surgical indications in this region. Pituitary adenomas represent the third most common primary intracranial tumor after gliomas and meningiomas, with a percentage of more than 15% in most series reported in the literature and ...

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.

Pediatric Transseptal Transsphenoidal Pituitary Surgery

American Journal of Rhinology, 2000
The use of the transseptal transsphenoidal approach to the pituitary gland has gained acceptance as a safe, relatively atraumatic means of removing pituitary tumors. The outcome in adult patients has been successful; however, the outcome in pediatric patients whose noses may still be developing is not well described.

Cerebellar hematoma following transsphenoidal surgery

Acta Radiologica, 2005
Cerebellar hemorrhage after supratentorial surgery is a very infrequent complication. Most cases occur following aneurysm or brain tumor surgery, or evacuation of extracerebral collections. The underlying mechanism of formation of these hematomas is unclear.
