The experience with transsphenoidal surgery and its importance to outcomes

ConclusionsWe conclude that a center with experience of>  25 transsphenoidal operations for pituitary adenomas per year provides a high likelihood of safe TSS. Surgery for CD requires a particularly high level of practice to guarantee excellent remission rates. The endocrinologist has the unique opportunity to audit the surgical success by hormone measu rement and to refer patients to neurosurgeons with proven excellence.
