Red Net Moment Hengyang, March 2nd (correspondent Liu Huiling, reporter Tan Qian) Recently, Li Yuanzhi’s team from the Department of Neurosurgery of Hengyang Central Hospital successfully treated 2 cases of non-functioning pituitary adenomas The patient underwent neuroendoscopic transnasal pituitary adenoma resection, and all patients were discharged from hospital within one week.
Based on evidence-based medicine, this operation aims to reduce the physiological and psychological traumatic stress response of surgical patients. Through multidisciplinary cooperation in surgery, anesthesia, nursing, nutrition, etc. The clinical pathway of the patients is optimized, thereby reducing perioperative stress response and postoperative complications, shortening hospitalization time, and promoting patient recovery.
At present, neuroendoscopic surgery is more and more widely used, which has changed the surgeon’s understanding of the disease and made the surgery safer and more effective. In recent years, the Neurosurgery Department of Hengyang Central Hospital has carried out neuroendoscopic surgery for sellar lesions (especially pituitary adenomas), intraventricular lesions, arachnoid cysts, scientific and safe surgical methods, and practiced “patient-centered” service concept and responsibility.
Pituitary adenoma is a benign tumor originating from the pituitary gland, accounting for 10-15% of intracranial tumors. , Pituitary adenomas can directly lead to excessive secretion of pituitary hormones, resulting in a series of clinical manifestations dominated by endocrine dysfunction, metabolic disorders and space-occupying compression, such as sudden headaches, menstrual disorders and even amenorrhea, gynecomastia, infertility Infertility, gigantism or adult acromegaly, etc., non-functioning adenomas can compress the optic chiasm and cause vision, visual field defects and even blindness, so once found, they should be actively treated. Experts remind that prolactin adenomas can be treated first, and tiny adenomas can be observed and reviewed regularly; most symptomatic pituitary adenomas can be treated with endoscopic minimally invasive transnasal surgery, which has a short operation time, less bleeding, Safe and effective. Some refractory pituitary adenomas can be treated with Gamma Knife.
