Predictors of visual and endocrine outcomes after endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary adenomas
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Neurosurgical Review"
DOI: 10.1007/s10143-021-01617-y
Abstract: Surgery for pituitary adenoma is indicated for relief of mass effect and control of endocrinopathy. Setting benchmarks for visual and hormonal outcomes is important for monitoring performance of surgical centres, while understanding the preoperative factors… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2017.08.058
Abstract: BACKGROUND Craniopharyngiomas have traditionally been treated via open transcranial approaches. More recently, endoscopic transsphenoidal approaches have been increasingly used; however, few case series exist in the pediatric population. METHODS A retrospective review of patients (aged read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2018.12.039
Abstract: BACKGROUND Although reducing 30-day hospital readmissions is now a priority in neurosurgical quality improvement, postoperative emergency room (ER) visits have remained poorly understood, in particular, in populations with limited access to outpatient care. After endoscopic… read more here.

The Pathophysiology of Early Hypotension Following Epinephrine-containing Local Anesthetic Infiltration of the Nasal Mucosa in Patients Undergoing Endoscopic Transsphenoidal Hypophysectomy: A Prospective, Observational Study
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Neurosurgical Anesthesiology"
DOI: 10.1097/ana.0000000000000297
Abstract: In patients undergoing endoscopic transsphenoidal hypophysectomy, the nasal mucosa is often infiltrated with local anesthetic solutions that contain epinephrine to aid hemostasis. This may, however, result in hemodynamic changes, especially hypotension. We characterized the cardiovascular… read more here.
