Endoscopic endonasal intradural pituitary transposition for resecting retroinfundibular lesions: technique notes and a single institute experience
Tumours of the retroinfundibular area, prepontine and interpeduncular cisterns can be safely removed via the PGT technique. The intradural PGT technique combined with flexible dorsectomy and posterior clinoidectomy has obvious advantages, including less intraoperative bleeding, more effective pituitary transposition, and good preservation of pituitary function. Owing to the complexity of these regions, this technique should be performed by experienced endoneurosurgeons.
