No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Acromegaly is associated with craniofacial skeletal changes and upper airway soft tissue hypertrophy, which may increase the risk of difficult laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation. This prospective observational study aims to evaluate airway and intubation characteristics in patients with acromegaly undergoing surgery under general anesthesia and to compare direct laryngoscopy and video laryngoscopy findings.

Adult patients with acromegaly and patients with nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas scheduled for surgery under general anesthesia will be prospectively enrolled between July 1, 2026, and August 31, 2026. Preoperative airway assessment parameters, hormonal data including growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-1 levels, Mallampati score, modified Cormack-Lehane grade, intubation-related variables, and peri-intubation complications will be recorded.
