title: [Results of surgical treatment of patients with pituitary adenomas].
abstract: The results of operations performed on 126 patients for adenoma of the hypophysis from 1954 to 1975 by the transfrontal approach are analysed. In most patients the adenoma was marked by suprasellar growth. The clinical symptoms and the specific features of the methods of examination and surgical treatment are described. Postoperative mortality was 18.2%, duration of catamnestic follow-up 5-10 years. Recurrences were found in 14% of cases. They occurred 5-8 years, on the average, after the first operation and 1.3 years after repeated operations. The necessity of early diagnosis of hypophyseal adenoma is emphasized. Modified operative techniques and substitution hormonal therapy in combination with timely diagnosis are decisive in improving the results of treatment of patients with adenoma of the hypophysis.
