Abstract

For a number of years, the microscopic sublabial transsphenoidal (MST) approach was considered the gold standard approach for the treatment of pituitary macroadenomas. Nonetheless, the trend is currently shifting away from the MST to the endonasal transsphenoidal (EET) approach. The aim of the present study was to examine the post‑operative outcomes of the first cases operated by a team of two young surgeons using the EET approach, compared to the cases operated by a team of senior neurosurgeons with extensive experience with the MST approach. For this purpose, data from 20 patients with pituitary adenoma were retrospectively collected from a single center who were operated by the current and previous pituitary‑surgery teams. All the patients who presented with visual impairment in the EET group recovered completely (5/5), whereas 4/5 patients in the MST group recovered completely. Primary hospitalization duration was similar in the two groups. Gross tumor removal was achieved in 90% of patients in the EET group compared to 70% of the patients operated with the MST technique. Intraoperative complications were comparable between the two groups. The first cases operated at the center with EET proved to have better visual outcomes and a larger tumor removal when compared to the MST group. A greater experience in using this technique could exponentiate the differences in the post‑operative outcomes, such as a lower hospitalization duration and fewer intraoperative complications. On the whole, colleagues who have yet to familiarize themselves with the EET approach could perhaps be encouraged to learn to utilize this technique, provided that their center is staffed with an experienced team of skull base surgeons to intervene in an intraoperative complication.
