Transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary adenomas: early results from a single center.

CONCLUSIONS: Transsphenoidal endoscopic surgery for pituitary adenomas is safe and is frequently followed by improvement in visual symptoms, whereas recovery of pituitary function is less common. In our patients, complete surgical removal of adenomas is comparable to that of other series, but further investigations will be necessary to clarify the long-term risk of tumor recurrence.
