METHODS: We describe the key steps of the endoscopic transcavernous approach for functional pituitary adenomas with a video illustration. The surgical anatomy is described along with the advantages and limitations of this approach.
CONCLUSIONS: A detailed knowledge of CS anatomy and familiarity with this surgical approach acquired in the laboratory is essential. Proper instrumentation is critical to decrease the risks of vascular injury.
方法:我们用视频插图描述了内镜下经海绵体入路治疗功能性垂体腺瘤的关键步骤。描述了手术解剖结构以及这种方法的优点和局限性。
结论:在实验室中获得对CS解剖学的详细了解和对这种手术方法的熟悉是必不可少的。正确的仪器是降低血管损伤风险的关键。
