Pituitary adenoma is a neurosurgical pathology commonly resected via endoscopic endonasal approach. Septal and nasal passage anatomy can affect the surgical corridor and may require septoplasty or other techniques for expansion.
The authors presented a case of pituitary macroadenoma with septal deviation with use of balloon-assisted nasal access for surgery.
This technique enhanced surgical width of field and instrument maneuverability via septal medialization for successful tumor resection.
垂体腺瘤是一种常通过鼻内镜经鼻入路切除的神经外科病变。鼻中隔和鼻道解剖结构会影响手术通道,可能需要进行鼻中隔成形术或其他扩张技术。
作者介绍了一例伴有鼻中隔偏曲的垂体大腺瘤病例,采用球囊辅助鼻入路进行手术。
该技术通过鼻中隔内移增加了手术视野宽度和器械可操作性,从而成功切除肿瘤。
