Overview:
The feasibility of surgery depends on the clinical condition and underlying etiology. Following conditions need a surgical consideration: pituitary apoplexy , microadenomas with GH or ACTH hyper secretion and debulking macroadenomas with mass symptoms and resistant to medical therapy.
Surgery
- A study showed that non-functioning pituitary adenomas may be prevented from recurrence by gross-total resection and/or adjuvant radiotherapy.[1]
- Literature review has shown better outcomes with endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery when compared to microscopic technique in gross tumor removal as it lowers the risk of CSF leak, septal perforation, infection, hematoma, hypopituitarism, recurrence, and overall mortality. [2][3][4]
- Neurological decompression is done once the patient is hemodynamically stable. Surgery relieves pressure on the pituitary and improves visual field defects and ocular palsy.[5][6]The nature of surgical approach depends upon the presentation of the patient and can be either transsphenoidal approach (more common) or open craniotomy[7]
Indications
Following conditions need a surgical consideration:
- Pituitary apoplexy
- Microadenomas with GH or ACTH hyper secretion
- Debulking macroadenomas with mass symptoms and resistant to medical therapy
