The advantages of endoscopic transnasal pituitary surgery include a panoramic view of the area and easy reoperation. Based on this, we performed a planned staged operation in two cases of large pituitary adenomas, extending to the suprasellar lesion, using the endoscopic transnasal trans-sphenoidal approach via both nostrils. In the initial operation, a tumour mass was from the intrasellar region, however, that part of it in contact with the tumour capsule was left intact for prevention of peri-operative injury. The residual mass descended into the sellar floor at the second operation, and was easily resected with no complications. A staged operation by the endoscopic transnasal approach, although it requires two operations, is thought to be a safe and efficient procedure for the removal of large pituitary tumours.

D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images.

D010911 Pituitary Neoplasms Neoplasms which arise from or metastasize to the PITUITARY GLAND. The majority of pituitary neoplasms are adenomas, which are divided into non-secreting and secreting forms. Hormone producing forms are further classified by the type of hormone they secrete. Pituitary adenomas may also be characterized by their staining properties (see ADENOMA, BASOPHIL; ADENOMA, ACIDOPHIL; and ADENOMA, CHROMOPHOBE). Pituitary tumors may compress adjacent structures, including the HYPOTHALAMUS, several CRANIAL NERVES, and the OPTIC CHIASM. Chiasmal compression may result in bitemporal HEMIANOPSIA.

D004724 Endoscopy Procedures of applying ENDOSCOPES for disease diagnosis and treatment. Endoscopy involves passing an optical instrument through a small incision in the skin i.e., percutaneous; or through a natural orifice and along natural body pathways such as the digestive tract; and/or through an incision in the wall of a tubular structure or organ, i.e. transluminal, to examine or perform surgery on the interior parts of the body.
