Summary

This study is to prospectively compare the standard supine (control group) and the semi-sitting position (head elevation of 30°; intervention group) in endoscopic endonasal pituitary surgery.

Conditions

  • Pituitary Adenoma

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Endonasal endoscopic pituitary surgery in semi-sitting position

Patients will be placed in semi-sitting position. To achieve the semi-sitting position, the patient is placed in supine position. The operating table is then separated and flexed to elevate the torso (angle of 30°). The head, which is fixed in a head clamp, is slightly flexed to bring the floor of the sella right in front of the surgeon and gently rotated toward the operating team.

PROCEDURE

Endonasal endoscopic pituitary surgery in supine position

Patients will be operated in the standard supine neutral position
