In a series of 250 pituitary adenomas, 72 (28.8%) were nonsecreting and 178 (71.2%) produced a hypersecretion syndrome: human growth hormone (83), prolactin (59), and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) (36). One-fifth had received prior treatment and one-fourth had visual impairment. The technical aspects of the transsphenoidal procedure are given with separate consideration of microadenomas and larger tumors. The results are provided in summary form with emphasis on the favorable outcome following removal of microadenomas. There was one postoperative death, and the complications observed after operation are presented.
在一组250例垂体腺瘤中，72例（28.8%）为无分泌功能型，178例（71.2%）产生分泌亢进综合征：人类生长激素（83例）、催乳素（59例）和促肾上腺皮质激素（ACTH）（36例）。五分之一的患者曾接受过先前治疗，四分之一的患者有视力损害。经蝶窦手术的技术细节分别针对微腺瘤和较大肿瘤进行了阐述。结果以总结形式呈现，重点强调了微腺瘤切除后的良好效果。术后有1例死亡，并列出了术后观察到的并发症。
