Visual field improvement after endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery in patients with pituitary adenoma

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To analyze and predict the possibility of visual field (VF) recovery after endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery (ETSS) in patients with pituitary adenoma, we investigated the factors affecting the improvement of the visual field defect (VFD) and built a nomogram predictive model based on these risk factors. We further investigated specific recovery regions of VF associated with the improvement of VFD.

Methods

The clinical data of patients who underwent ETSS for pituitary adenomas at a single center between the January 2021 and April 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to determine the predictive factors affecting the improvement in the VF defect and specific recovery regions in patients with pituitary adenomas after ETS
