ABSTRACT
95%) was performed in 62 cases, a subtotal resection (76%~95%) was performed in 6 cases, and a partial resection (≤75%), 2 cases. No peri-operative deaths occurred. Transient diabetes insipidus was noted in 24 cases and was cured within 3 weeks after operation. Nasal cerebrospinal fluid leakage was observed in 8 cases, 5 of which spontaneously recovered after 2 weeks of bed rest, and 3 of which were cured by lumbar cistern drainage. Follow-up observations for 3 months ~ 2 years (mean, 7 months) in 48 cases found 2 cases of recurrence. Conclusions Transnasal transseptal transsphenoidal approach adenomectomy is an effective and minimally invasive procedure, with simplicity to performance, short operative time and fewer complications.
