Microscopic Approach

Background: Transphenoidal microscopic approach is minimally invasive surgery in case of pituitary adenoma. Comparatively less complication than transcranial approach.Objective: The purpose of the study to see the outcome of transphenoidal microscopic removal of pituitary adenoma.Results: The study showed the majority 8(53.33%) of patients were female. It was documented that 7(46.66%) of patient had age group 21-40 years. It was evident that 13(86.66%) of patient had macroadenoma. Among the 15 patients 14(93.33%) had visual disturbance and 1(6.64%) had pituitary apoplexy. Tumor was totally removed under microscope in 10(66.67%) cases. It was documented that 12(80.11%) of patients improved after surgery.Conclusion: Transphenoidal microscopic pituitary surgery is one of the important procedure which can save many lives with lack of postoperative complication.Chatt Maa Shi Hosp Med Coll J; Vol.14 (2); Jul 2015; Page 38-42

Invasive Techniques

Minimally invasive techniques in neurosurgery evolved in two steps. Many minimally invasive concepts like neuronavigation, endoscopy, or frame based stereotaxy were developed by the pioneers of neurosurgery, but it took decades till further technical developments made the realization and broad clinical application of these early ideas safe and possible. This thesis will be demonstrated by giving examples of the evolution of four minimally invasive techiques: neuronavigation, transsphenoidal pituitary surgery, neuroendoscopy and stereotaxy. The reasons for their early failure and also the crucial steps for the rediscovery of these minimally invasive techniques will be analysed. In the 80th of the 20th century endoscopy became increasingly applied in different surgical fields. The abdominal surgeons coined as first for their endoscopic procedures the term minimally invasive surgery in contrast to open surgery. In neurrosurgery the term minimally invasive surgery stood not in opposiotion to open procedures but was understood as a general concept and philosophy using the modern technology such as neuronavigation, endoscopy and planing computer workstations with the aim to make the procedures less traumatic.
