Pituitary surgery is a continuous evolving specialty of neurosurgery, requiring precise anatomical knowledge, technical skills and integrated appreciation of the pathophysiology.
We herein detail the features of the endoscopic endonasal approach for the management of pituitary adenomas, as experienced at the Division of Neurosurgery of the Universita' degli Studi di Napoli "Federico II".
The endoscopic endonasal technique brings advantages to the patient (less nasal traumatism, less post-op pain), to the surgeon (wider and closer view of the surgical target area, increase of the scientific activity, smoothing of interdisciplinary cooperation), and to the institution (shorter post-op hospital stay, and increase of the case load).
垂体手术是神经外科中一个不断发展的专业，需要精确的解剖学知识、技术技能和对病理生理学的综合理解。
我们在此详细介绍了那不勒斯费德里克二世大学神经外科分部在管理垂体腺瘤方面的经鼻内镜入路的特点。
经鼻内镜技术为患者（较少的鼻腔创伤，较少的术后疼痛）、外科医生（更宽和更近的手术目标区域视野，增加科学活动，促进跨学科合作）和医疗机构（较短的术后住院时间，增加病例量）带来了优势。
