The most effective method for the treatment of pituitary tumors is currently recognized as transnasal butterfly minimally invasive surgery. There are 6 advantages: 1, local anesthesia, short operation time: local anesthesia is used throughout the operation, which only takes just 30 minutes to complete, greatly shortening the operation time.
2. Minimally invasive surgery, no damage to other organs: the hands do not need to separate the nasal septum mucosa, preserving the bony nasal septum, the sense of smell is well preserved, no complications such as nasal septal perforation, and no sublabial incision, which does not affect postoperative eating.
3.Comprehensive resection of tumor and avoiding complications: the observation mirror with different perspectives is used to reach into the saddle for observation, reducing the incidence of tumor omission, and the tumor in the lateral horn is resected under the direct view of the endoscope, reducing the complications caused by blind operation.
4.Surgery under high magnification microscope, clearer: the field of view under microscope is wide, avoiding dead angle in surgery, showing lesion more closely and clearly.
5.No scar left and beautiful: the observation mirror with different viewpoints is stretched into the saddle to reduce the incidence of tumor omission, and the tumor in the lateral horn is removed under the direct view of the endoscope, which reduces the complications brought by blind operation.
6.Small trauma and fast recovery after surgery: Because of the advantages of small trauma and short time of surgery, the basic recovery is 3-5 days after surgery and one week can be discharged from hospital.
