Treatment strategies for giant pituitary adenomas in the era of endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery: a multicenter series

The pattern of residual pituitary adenoma guides further treatment strategies, including early transcranial reoperation, delayed endoscopic transsphenoidal/transcranial reoperation, and adjuvant radiosurgery.PMID:34388714 | DOI:10.3171/2021.1.JNS203982
