Pre- and Postoperative Magnetic Resonance Imaging Comparative Studies of Pituitary Tissues Following Transsphenoidal Resection of Pituitary Macroadenomas

CONCLUSIONS: The larger the tumor diameter, the worse the pituitary morphological recovery after tumor resection. Relative locations of normal pituitary and adenoma tissues may be related to adenoma type and may affect postoperative reconstruction of residual normal pituitary tissues. These findings enable surgeons to distinguish pituitary tissue from residual or recurring tumor tissue on postoperative magnetic resonance imaging.PMID:37735115 | DOI:10.31083/j.jin2205107
