Repeat endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery for residual or recurrent cushing's disease: safety, feasibility, and success.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The success and outcomes of repeat endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery (ETS) for residual or recurrent Cushing's disease (CD) are underreported in the literature. This study aims to address this gap by assessing the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of repeat ETS in these patients.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was conducted on 56 patients who underwent a total of 65 repeat ETS performed by a single neurosurgeon between January 2006 and December 2020.
