Autopsy reports and radiologic and MRI evidence from around the globe indicate that one out of every five people worldwide has a pituitary tumor although many of the tumors do not cause symptoms and the condition is never diagnosed during the person's lifetime . About 15% of tumors in the skull are pituitary tumors most are located in the anterior pituitary lobe and are usually noncancerous. All neurosurgery residents are trained in pituitary surgery this is a bread & butter surgical area for them. Over the last decade techniques in pituitary surgery have rapidly evolved as the entire surgical field has sought out minimally invasive procedures whenever possible. As a result endoscopic procedures have become the preferred approach in pituitary surgery. The proposed book aims to be THE go-to comprehensive and current guide on pituitary surgery finding audiences with both neurosurgeons and otolaryngologists who perform these procedures. However this book will not only contain the state-of-the-art technical aspects of endoscopic pituitary surgery but will also tap the knowledge base of the masters in this specialty who will reveal their time-tested decision-making processes for determining which patients are candidates for pituitary surgery endoscopic versus open (craniotomy) and which would be better served with alternative treatments such as medication.
