ABSTRACT

Objective To review the endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery development and study the transsphenoidal surgical approach of microanatomy and offer anatomical data on transsphenoidal surgical approach for the resection of Sellar region diseases.MethodsThe related structures was observed and measured in 20 formalin-fixed adult cadaveric heads.ResultsThe Sellar,Sphenoid mouth,Optic nerve,Carotid artery,Pituitary fossa,Cavernous sinus and the structural composition surrounding blood vessels and nerves were measured and recorded.ConclusionsThe microsurgical anatomy of Sellar region will be helpful in transsphenoidal approach in surgical technique and safe operation in endoscopic - transsphenoidal approach.
