Transsphenoidal Re-operation for Residual and Recurrent Pituitary Adenomas after Craniotomy

Objective To discuss the transsphenoidal re-operations for residual and recurrent pituitary adenomas after the craniotomy. Methods Sixteen patients underwent the transsphenoidal re-operations for residual and recurrent pituitary adenomas after the craniotomy. Of the 16 patients, 4 had residual adenomas and 12 suffered from recurrent adenomas 3.9 years (on an average) after the first operation. There was visual impairment in 14 cases, headache in 6, hypopituitarism in 4. Tumor size was l-3cm in 6 cases and over 3cm in 10. Twelve patients had non-function pituitary adenomas, 3 prolactinomas and 1 growth hormone adenoma. Results Of the 16 cases, 7 received total removel of the tumor, 6 subtotal and 3 part. The fellow-up for 6 months to 5 years showed that the tumor did riot recur in 15 patients. Conclusion Transsphenoidal re-operations is the best surgical method for the residual and recurrent pituitary adenomas after the craniotomy.
