The transseptal transsphenoidal hypophysectomy has become a relatively frequent procedure in recent years. We performed 20 such procedures between January 1984 and December 1987 for various pituitary disorders. Significant complications such as CSF rhinorrhea, meningitis, diabetes insipidus, haemorrhage and septal perforation are discussed. The mortality rate for the series was 5%. In analysing the data, we feel that this technique of hypophysectomy is a safe procedure.
近年来，经鼻中隔经蝶窦垂体切除术已成为一种相对常见的手术。1984年1月至1987年12月期间，我们针对各种垂体疾病进行了20例此类手术。文中讨论了诸如脑脊液鼻漏、脑膜炎、尿崩症、出血和鼻中隔穿孔等严重并发症。该系列手术的死亡率为5%。在分析数据时，我们认为这种垂体切除技术是一种安全的手术。
