Endonasal Transsphenoidal Approach

Definition

Endonasal transsphenoidal approach is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to access the pituitary gland and surrounding structures through the nose and sphenoid sinus. This approach is commonly employed to remove pituitary tumors, treat conditions such as Cushing's disease or acromegaly, and address other abnormalities in the skull base region.
