The Impact of Extended Procedure Duration on Nasal Morbidity after Endoscopic Endonasal Transsphenoidal Resection of Pituitary Macroadenomas
Only a history of prior sinus surgery was associated with increased nasal morbidity. Tumor size, functional tumors, surgical approach, reconstructive technique, and subtotal resection all prolonged operative time. Surgeons should consider counseling patients meeting these criteria on potential risk of increased morbidity and increased operative time with endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal resection.
