ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore factors influencing the recurrence of patients with Cushing's disease after transsphenoidal surgery.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 182 patients treated by transsphenoidal surgery with Cushing's disease in our department in PUMC Hospital from 1992 to 2002.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The recurrence rates were significantly different when patients had different radiological findings (P = 0.001), operative methods (P = 0.001), histological findings (P = 0.04), and postoperative cortisol levels (P = 0.02); however, such difference was not found in term of tumor size (P = 0.43).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Radiological findings, operative methods, histological findings, and postoperative cortisol estimates may be the factors influencing the recurrence of patients treated by transsphenoidal surgery.</p>
