This article, published in the Journal of Neurological Surgery, explores the factors that contribute to the recurrence of Cushing's disease (CD) after transsphenoidal surgery. The study analyzed data from the Registry of Adenomas of the Pituitary and Related Disorders (RAPID) database, which included 383 CD patients. The results showed that patients who experienced recurrence had a longer postoperative hospital stay, larger tumor volumes, and a higher rate of failed prior treatment. Younger age and the absence of cavernous sinus invasion were identified as potential protective factors against recurrence. The findings suggest that early detection and treatment of tumors may improve outcomes for CD patients. [Extracted from the article]
