In this issue of Otolaryngologic Clinics, guest editors Drs. Jean Anderson Eloy, Christina H. Fang, and Vijay Agarwal bring their considerable expertise to the topic of Pituitary Surgery. The management of pituitary lesions has evolved significantly in recent decades, and practice patterns vary considerably depending on location, setting, and surgeon preference. In this issue, top experts in the field consider topics such as new advances in endoscopic techniques, current understanding of skull base anatomy, and the performance of extended approaches in a safe and efficient manner—all timely and valuable information to the practicing rhinologist, neurosurgeon, and comprehensive otolaryngologist, particularly those seeking to learn more about developing an integrated pituitary surgical practice.
Contains 21 relevant, practice-oriented topics including anatomic considerations in endoscopic pituitary surgery; preoperative workup for patients with pituitary lesions; differential diagnosis and radiographic imaging of pituitary lesions; anesthetic considerations in endoscopic pituitary surgery; pediatric pituitary surgery; non-surgical interventions for pituitary lesions; and more.
Provides in-depth clinical reviews on pituitary surgery, offering actionable insights for clinical practice.
Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.
