Neuronavigation-assisted pituitary neuroendocrine tumor resection: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The advancement of pituitary surgery has rendered it a secure and efficient treatment method; nevertheless, the potential for incomplete tumor removal and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak remains. Neuronavigation-assisted pituitary neuroendocrine tumor (PitNET) resections have been driving a rising number of attentions in recent years. However, there is currently a lack of comprehensive quantitative evaluation of the effectiveness of neuronavigation-assisted pituitary tumor resection. We aimed to assess the curative effects and complications with or without the use of an image-based neuronavigation in PitNET resection.

Methods

A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed by searching PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Scopus from inception
