Early Experience With Endoscopic Endonasal Transsphenoidal Surgery for Pituitary Adenomas: Clinical Outcomes and Complications

This study offers a detailed overview of early institutional experience with EETS for pituitary adenomas, highlighting how the learning curve, tumor complexity, and reconstructive challenges influence surgical outcomes. Although complication rates were higher than those in recent series, the results emphasize the importance of accumulated surgical experience, multidisciplinary teamwork, and advances in closure techniques in meeting current standards of care. Early experiences like this serve as valuable historical benchmarks for guiding training, patient selection, and future surgical innovations.
