Sequelae of pituitary cyst surgery include pituitary hypoplasia, optic nerve damage, urolithiasis, cerebrospinal fluid leakage and so on.
1. Hypopituitarism: Since the surgery is performed on the pituitary gland, the pituitary gland may be damaged during the surgery, leading to hypopituitarism, which may be manifested as chills, fatigue, menopause, infertility, etc. In addition, the pituitary gland may be damaged during the surgery.
2. Optic nerve damage: the optic nerve may be damaged during surgery, which may cause visual impairment and visual field defects.
3. Uremia: If the pituitary stalk is damaged during surgery due to operation errors, it may lead to uremia.
4. Cerebrospinal fluid leakage: surgery on the pituitary gland may also lead to cerebrospinal fluid leakage, which must be treated actively, as retrograde cerebrospinal fluid may easily cause intracranial infection.
In the postoperative period, we must closely observe the patient’s condition, consult the doctor in time when discomfort occurs, and actively treat under the guidance of the doctor.
