Outcome Analysis of Endoscopic Resection of Pituitary Adenomas
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this prospective study is to learn about the operative outcomes in patients with pituitary adenoma who receive endoscopic resection.
The main question it aims to answer is:
• What are the outcomes of patient following endoscopic resection? including visual, hormonal, survival, and functional outcomes.
Participants' data including clinical history, laboratory data, radiographic images, intraoperative videos will be evaluated and analyzed.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Visual field [6 months]
The postoperative visual field will be assessed with standard visual perimetry and compared with preoperative measurements.
- Diabetes insipidus [6 months]
Postoperatively, the patient's urine output and urine specific gravity will be measured to determine if the patient had diabetes insipidus. If the patient had diabetes insipidus, the duration of the diabetes insipidus will be recorded.
- Cortisol level [6 months]
Postoperative serum cortisol level will be measured and compared to preoperative levels.
- Thyroid hormone level [6 months]
Postoperative serum TSH and free T4 level will be measured and compared to preoperative levels.
- Prolactin level [6 months]
Postoperative serum prolactin level will be measured and compared to preoperative levels.
- IGF-1 level [6 months]
Postoperative serum IGF-1 level will be measured and compared to preoperative levels.
