how risky is transsphonoidal surgery in Pituitary Adenoma?
Answers
Answer:
Most people who have transsphenoidal surgery will have a sinus headache and congestion for up to a week or 2 after surgery. If surgery causes damage to large arteries, to nearby brain tissue, or to nerves near the pituitary, it can lead to brain damage, a stroke, or blindness, but this is quite rare.When a transsphenoidal adenomectomy is performed at experienced transsphenoidal surgery centers, long-term remission rates average 80% overall, surgical morbidity is low, and the mortality rate is typically less than 1%. In patients with well-defined noninvasive microadenomas, the long-term remission rate averages 90%.
