title: [Experimental-morphological and clinical results of laser destruction of adenohypophysis].
abstract: Feasibility of focal adenohypophysis destruction by Nd:YAG laser is experimentally proven. The destruction is not followed by considerable damage of other structures of the hypothalamus-hypophysis region. It is established that the focus of coagulation necrosis produced by laser radiation is replaced by scar tissue. A surgical treatment of hypophysis adenoma surgical treatment is proposed. Its effectiveness, safety and low traumatism were confirmed at its clinical trial.
