title: Experimental and clinical aspects of laser destruction of adenohypophysis.
abstract: Focal destruction of the adenohypophysis by Nd:YAG laser does not destroy other structures of the hypothalamo-pituitary region. During reparative regeneration, the focus of coagulation necrosis after laser destruction of the adenohypophysis is replaced by cicatricial tissue. A method for surgical treatment of pituitary adenomas was developed. The efficiency, safety, and low traumatism of this method were confirmed in 87 patients.
