Abstract
The common complications of transnasal endoscopic pituitary adenomas resection include nasal hemorrhage, olfactory disorder, nasal adhesion, and intracranial infection. Consequently, the protection of nasal mucosa and the prevention of surgical field contamination are critical. We presented a step-by-step description of the methods of the disinfection and protection of nasal mucosa and the prevention of surgical field contamination during transnasal endoscopic pituitary adenomas resection, and these comprehensive measures to prevent these complications have not been documented. These measures effectively reduce the risk of nasal mucosal injury and surgical field contamination, and are easy to perform.
