[Surgical treatment of pituitary adenoma].
Seventy-four patients with pituitary adenoma were treated by surgery, including 51 transsphenoidal and 23 transcranial approaches, without death, postoperative leakage of CSF and early-period intracranial infection. Many patients had a transient diabetes insipidus after operation. In discussion we attended the difference of attacking age of pituitary adenoma between male and female, the significances of CT and MRI as well as the indication and the important points of various approaches.
