A technical note on endonasal combined microscopic endoscopic with free head navigation technique of removal of pituitary adenomas

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Pituitary surgery exemplifies the continuous refinement of surgical techniques. The transsphenoidal approach is the approach of choice to treat most pituitary adenomas. We report here, as a technical note, an operative nuance that represents an encompassment of various technical steps that we utilize in our current surgery, including the corroboration of navigation system on a free head with combined use of endoscope and microscope techniques.
