Background Despite the substantial impact of cavernous sinus invasion (CSI) in pituitary
adenoma surgery, its radiologic determination has been inconsistent and variable, and the …

Aim To report the results of a series of patients undergoing pure endoscopic endonasal
pituitary surgery and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this procedure. Materials and …

OBJECT An important prognostic factor for the surgical outcome and recurrence of a pituitary
adenoma is its invasiveness into parasellar tissue, particularly into the space of the …

Object Cavernous sinus (CS) invasion is the most important preoperative predictor of
remission in the surgical treatment of growth hormone–producing pituitary adenomas. The …

OBJECTIVE Pituitary adenomas often invade the medial wall of the cavernous sinus (CS),
but this structure is generally not surgically removed because of the risk of vascular and …

Abstract Objectives/Hypothesis: Pediatric skull base surgery is limited by several boney
sinonasal landmarks that must be overcome prior to tumor dissection. When approaching a …

Object Endoscopy as a visual aid (endoscope assisted) or as the sole visual method (fully
endoscopic) is increasingly used in pituitary adenoma surgery. Authors of this study …

Objective To design and assess the quality of a novel lateral retrocanthal endoscopic
approach to the lateral cavernous sinus. Design Computer modeling software was used to …

Object Endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery is expanding in acceptance, yet postoperative
CSF leak rates remain a concern. This study presents the Cornell closure protocol, which …

Object This study details the extent of resection and complications associated with
endonasal endoscopic surgery for pituitary tumors invading the cavernous sinus (CS) using …
