INTRODUCTION
OBJECTIVES
To compare and contrast the three different surgical approaches to the sellar region including the transcranial, transseptal transsphenoidal and the fully endoscopic endonasal approach
To describe the operative technique and our experience with the fully endoscopic endonasal approach
To display the results from our series of 1,000 patients who underwent fully endoscopic pituitary adenoma resections
To compare the outcomes and complication rates of endoscopic vs. microscopic pituitary surgery

INTRODUCTION
TUMORS OF THE SELLAR REGIONPituitary adenomas are the most common sellar tumorsafter the age of 30 and they represent 10% of all intracranial tumors
OTHER TUMORSMay mimic pituitary tumors radiologically and clinically
Craniopharyngiomas
Meningiomas
Rathke's cleft cysts
Epidermoid tumors
Arachnoid cyst
Carotid aneurysms
Others
ANATOMY OF THE SELLAR REGION

INTRODUCTION
BRIEF HISTORY
Transcranial, 1889, Victor Horsley
Transseptal Transsphenoidal, 1909, Harvey Cushing (Schloffler, Kanavel, Halstead, Hirsch, and others)
Microsurgical transsphenoidal, 1970s, Jules Hardy
Early trials with the endoscope, 1970’s – 1990’s (Guiot, Apuzzo, others)
MODERN ENDOSCOPIC PITUITARY SURGERY
Early 1990s, Endoscope-Assisted,
(Including a series of patients at the SBI
demonstrated 33-49% residual tumor
only recognized with the endoscope)
Fully Endoscopic
OPEN TRANSCRANIAL

FULLY ENDOSCOPIC
THE FULLY ENDOSCOPIC ENDONASAL APPROACH
ADVANTAGES
A completely endonasal approach A targeted approach A more clear visualization - Contact anatomy
A panoramic view - Angled endoscopes A more complete operation leading to a lower rate of recurrence

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
SUMMARY
Endoscopy provides distinct advantages over microscopy
Allows for focus on preserving neurological function and reducing morbidity
Modern pituitary surgery has few complications and requires only a short hospitalization
CONCLUSION
Skull base surgery has benefited significantly from advances in biotechnology
Impact upon the efficacy of tumor resection and subsequent rates of recurrence is significant
New stereoscopic endoscopes
