Abstract

Pituitary adenomas are benign neoplasms of hormone secreting cells of the anterior pituitary. Pituitary adenomas are classified according to size into 2 types: micro adenomas which are less than 1 cm and macro adenomas which are more than 1 cm in diameter.

Endoscopic pituitary surgery is useful in both micro and macro adenomas. The endoscope provides a close up, a multi-angled view with excellent illumination and magnification permitting complete excision of tumor with preservation of normal pituitary. The gradual transition from microscopic to endoscopic approach will minimize the complications following surgery.
