Road map to enhanced recovery protocol for endonasal endoscopic approach to pituitary adenomas: Surgical short-term outcome and experience of a single ENT/neurosurgery collaboration

Our study supports the benefits of early recovery protocols for endoscopic endonasal surgery for pituitary adenoma resection. The procedure is both safe and efficacious and improves overall patient satisfaction. Cerebrospinal fluid leaks remain a challenge but may improve with the use of fat, fascia lata, or middle turbinate flaps for large defects.
