Comparison of endoscopic versus microscopic transsphenoidal surgery in patients with pituitary adenomas: a propensity score matched study
Endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery is increasingly adopted in China, demonstrating a higher GTR rate than microscopic transsphenoidal surgery in PA patients with similar characteristics, without increasing severe complication rates. The risk of postoperative progression was similar between the two techniques.
