Anterior-posterior diameter is a key driver of resectability and complications for pituitary adenomas with suprasellar extension in endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery

ConclusionsThis study is unique in its examination of endoscopic transsphenoidal surgical outcomes for pituitary adenomas with suprasellar extension. Our findings suggest that previously established grading systems based on lateral extension into the cavernous sinus lose their predictive value in lesions with suprasellar extension and, more specifically, with increasing suprasellar anterior-posterior diameter.
