Abstract
To study effect of neuronavigation-assisted microscopic transsphenoidal resection on
autonomic function related hormone levels and visual function in patients with pituitary adenoma. Methods: A
total of 87 patients with pituitary adenoma were divided into the observation group (45 cases) and control group
(42 cases). The control group underwent neuroendoscope-assisted endoscopic transsphenoidal resection, and the
observation group underwent neuronavigation-assisted microscopic transsphenoidal resection. Patients were
followed up for 1 month, and surgery-related indexes, pituitary function-related hormone levels, visual function,
and complications were compared between the two groups. Results: The observation group's operation time
and hospital stay were significantly shorter and blood loss was significantly greater than those of the control
group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free T3 (FT3), adrenocorticotropic hormone
(ACTH), and prolactin (PRL) levels were significantly higher and cortisol (COR) level was significantly lower
in the observation group than in the control group (all P<0.05). Mean defect (MD) and pattern standard deviation
(PSD) of the visual field were significantly lower and visual field index (VFI) was significantly higher in the
observation group than in the control (P<0.05, P<0.01). There was no significant difference between the two
groups in cerebrospinal fluid leakage and complications (P>0.05). Conclusion:Neuronavigation-assisted
microscopic transsphenoidal resection helps to promote the recovery of pituitary function-related hormone levels
and improve visual function.
