- Abstract
Pituitary surgery has undergone rapid advancements in the last 30 years, secondary to improved surgical techniques and technologies, including those that allow endoscopic approaches. Although the endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) offers minimally invasive access to the region of the pituitary gland, complications are a significant consideration for the combined otolaryngology-neurosurgery team that is preparing for a case. In this article, we discuss various complications related to the EEA in pituitary surgery and explore ways to plan for and avoid them during surgery., Competing Interests: Disclosure Dr. Prevedello has consulting relationships with Stryker, Integra, and BK Medical. He also receives royalties from technologies with KLS Martin, ACE Medical, and Mizuho. None of the other authors have disclosures., (Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)
