Use of Intraoperative Tumor Consistency Grading to Guide Resection Technique of Pituitary Neuroendocrine Tumors
Extracapsular resection of PitNETs is a viable, safe, and often necessary resection technique that should be considered for smaller, firm PitNETs, particularly those without significant CSI. Most soft PitNETs can be addressed using an internal debulking/suction strategy or hybrid strategy.
