Summary

Pituitary adenomas constitute 10–15% of intracranial tumours. At present, a combination of medical, neurosurgical and radiosurgical modalities is applied to treat them. Successful treatment requires close collaboration between an endocrinologist, neurosurgeon and radiosurgeon. The authors present a series of 80 consecutive cases of pituitary adenoma treated, in cooperation with an otorhinolaryngologist, with endoscopic endonasal surgery. Nineteen secreting adenomas and 61 non-secreting tumours were treated. 70% of adenomas were macroadenomas. A follow up MRI after three months showed radical surgery in 76%. Morbidity and mortality results of this series are similar to other larger published series.

Key words:
pituitary adenoma – endonasal endo-scopic surgery – endocrinology

The authors declare they have no potential conflicts of interest concerning drugs, products, or services used in the study.

The Editorial Board declares that the manuscript met the ICMJE “uniform requirements” for biomedical papers.
