Abstract
Objective: The resection of pituitary adenomas has evolved over the past decade, as the sublabial (SL) microscopic approach has been largely abandoned in favor of the endoscopic endonasal (EE) approach. At our institution, the senior author (J. J. M.) adopted the EE approach in 2007. We reviewed pituitary adenoma resections from 2003 to 2012 performed by the senior author to compare the extent of resection, surgical outcomes, and the incidence of complications in both the SL and EE groups. Our primary goal is to volumetrically examine the extent of tumor resection achieved by the SL and EE approaches. We present our preliminary results, which define multiple characteristics of the patient population and reflect clinical outcomes.
