Skull Base - Visual Outcomes in Transsphenoidal Sellar Lesion Resection

This episode delves into the visual outcomes following endoscopic and microscopic transsphenoidal resection of sellar and parasellar lesions, as detailed in a systematic review published in World Neurosurgery in 2026. The abstract of this study highlights the evolution of transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary neoplasms and aims to consolidate existing literature on visual prognoses. We discuss the study's methodology in synthesizing data from various sources, the common types of lesions addressed, and the reported impact on vision post-surgery. Understanding these outcomes is crucial for surgical planning and patient counseling in neurosurgery and ophthalmology practices.
