DOI: 10.1007/s00701-019-03890-9
Abstract: Dear Editor, We read with great interest the work by Serra et al. [5], which addresses a widespread need in trans-sphenoidal pituitary surgery: the availability of a simple and reliable scoring system to predict extent… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00701-020-04270-4
Abstract: Background Between 2010 and 2014, microscopic transsphenoidal surgery (mTSS) was performed more frequently than endoscopic TSS (eTSS) in the USA. However, few epidemiological studies on pituitary surgery are currently available. Methods We performed a retrospective… read more here.

Enhanced recovery and accelerated discharge after endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery: safety, patient feedback, and cost implications

DOI: 10.1007/s00701-020-04282-0
Abstract: Background Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a constant motivation. There is growing evidence that an endoscopic (rather than microscopic) transsphenoidal approach to pituitary tumours can play a role, facilitating faster recovery and a commensurate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12020-017-1276-7
Abstract: Pituitary surgery represents the first-line treatment for most patients with Cushing’s disease (CD) [1, 2]. In the case of surgery failure, additional treatment options are required [3–6]. Pasireotide has shown favourable results in the first-line… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12020-020-02308-2
Abstract: Objective Discharge policies concerning hospitalization after endoscopic pituitary tumor surgery are highly variable. A few studies support fast-track discharge; however, this is not commonplace. Our goal was to report the transition to and evaluate the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12020-021-02665-6
Abstract: The incidence of pituitary adenoma (PA) increases with age. Transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) in elderly patients is often considered to have greater risk compared to the younger population. The aim of this study is to compare… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.anorl.2018.10.005
Abstract: Pituitary surgery is performed via a transsphenoidal approach in the vast majority of cases according to various methods that have changed over the years. A microscopic transseptal approach via a sublabial mucosal incision or a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.nec.2019.05.009
Abstract: Although removal of pituitary tumors yields excellent surgical outcomes, perturbations in the hypothalamic-pituitary axis are not uncommon. Careful assessment of postoperative hormone status with supplementation or further medical therapy is critical to successful outcomes. Although… read more here.
