A retrospective study of 33 cases of pituitary region tumors which were confirmed by transsphenoidal microsurgery during last three years and eight months.
After surgery, there were no direct surgical mortality. Some surgical complications such as diabetes insipitus and meningits were occurred but which were temporary and easily controllable events. Medical therapy was done pre-& post operatively and also radiation therapy was given postoperatively in some cases as the adjuvant therapy.
This review reconfirms that the transsphenoidal approach is safer and more effective procedure than craniotomy for most pituitary tumors.
