ABSTRACT

To report the results of a consecutive series of pituitary adenomas resected through endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) with minimal nasal injury.Retrospectively review tumor characteristics and surgical outcomes of a consecutive series of EEA pituitary adenomas resection performed mainly by a single author between March 2018 and June 2019.A total of 75 endoscopic endonasal approach pituitary adenoma resections were performed by the authors' team. Of the 75 patients, 28 through mononostril EEA, 47 through Binonostril EEA. Hadad-Bassagasteguy vascularized nasoseptal flap was harvested in only 4 (5.3%) patients with a high risk of postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leak, and one side middle turbinate only been resected in 2 (2.7%) patients, other patients preserved bilateral middle turbinate. Of the 75 patients, gross total resection is 74.7%, near-tota l resection is 16.0%. Endocrinological remission was achieved in 76.9% of GH-secreting adenomas, 61.5% of prolactin-secreting adenomas. The postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leak rate was 2.7%. Two patients had suprasellar hemorrhage, 1 patient had perioperative stroke, 2 patients had permanent diabetes insipidus, no cranial nerve deficits, internal carotid artery injury, anosmia, and death. The sino-nasal function was measured with the Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 and visual analog scale for olfaction preoperatively and postoperatively, and there was no statistically significant difference.The EEA is an effective approach to resect pituitary adenomas, the gross total resection and near-total resection rate and endocrinological remission rate are satisfactory. The EEA is a safe approach, as the complication rate is acceptable compared with those reported in the previous series of microscopic and endoscopic approaches. These results can be achieved with minimal nasal injury.
