老年人垂体腺瘤的手术治疗

目的：探讨显微外科治疗老年人垂体腺瘤的临床综合疗效，以选择对该类型肿瘤的最佳手术方法。方法：回顾性分析显微手术治疗的老年人垂体腺瘤190例，将其分为经蝶手术组和经颅手术组，对肿瘤的手术切除率、术后并发症、术后随访进行对比分析。结果：经蝶组158例，肿瘤全切除112例(71．0％)，次全切除30例，部分切除16例；经颅组32例，全切除8例(25．0％)，次全切除16例，部分切除8例。经蝶组住院时间短，治疗费用较少，手术后生活质量较高。结论：经蝶显微手术可作为大多数老年垂体腺瘤患者的首选手术方法。

Operative treatment for the elderly patients with pituitary adenomas

Objective To evaluate the overall effectiveness of microsurgery for elderly pituitary adenomas,and to select the optimal surgical approaches for this type of tumor. Methods Microsurgical operation was performed on 190 patients with elderly pituitary ademomas,and these patients were retrospectively analysed. The 190 cases were divided into transsphenoidal group and transcranial group with a comparison analysis of respective removal percentage,postoperative complication and follow-up. Results In the transsphenoidal group with 158 cases,total removal were performed in 112 cases (71.0%),subtotal removal in 30 cases,partial removal in 16 cases. In the transcranial group with 32 cases,total removal were performed in 8 cases (25.0%),subtotal removal in 16 cases,partial removal in 8 cases. Conclusions Transsphenoidal approach was characterized by shorter hospitalization period,less therapeutic charges and better postoperative quality of life and it should be of choice for the treatment of the elderly pituitary adenomas.
