Complications in Endoscopic Endonasal Pituitary Adenoma Surgery: An Institution Experience in 310 Patients

Abstract: Objective: Endoscopic Endonasal approaches (EEA) have shown excellent results for majority of hypophyseal tumors. The aim of this study was to evaluate and report the complications of EEA in patients with Pituitay Adenoma (PA) who underwent surgery between 2013 and 2018. Methods: We performed a retrospective review of 310 consecutive patients/325 procedures with PA treated with an Endoscopic Endonasal (EEA) approach from May 2013 to January 2018. Minor complications including transient diabetes insipidus (DI) … Show more

“…Endoscopic endonasal surgery (EES) has become the popular approach to deal with ventral skull base pathologies. Endoscopic techniques are currently used to treat various benign and malignant pathologies and the most common include pituitary adenomas, craniopharyngiomas, chordomas, Rathke's cyst, and skull base defects with excellent results 1–6 …”

“…Endoscopic techniques are currently used to treat various benign and malignant pathologies and the most common include pituitary adenomas, craniopharyngiomas, chordomas, Rathke's cyst, and skull base defects with excellent results. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Similar to every neurosurgical procedure, EES is associated with complications. The most catastrophic intra-operative complication in EES is internal carotid artery (ICA) injury.…”
