Abstrakt: This article discusses the incidence and natural history of residual pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs) following endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery (ETSS). The study, conducted at the University of Washington, included 878 patients who underwent ETSS for resection of PitNETs between 2011 and 2023. Of these patients, 12.5% resulted in subtotal resection. The most common locations of residual tumor were the cavernous sinus and suprasellar compartment. Subsequent tumor progression was common, highlighting the need for long-term follow-up in cases of subtotal resection. [Extracted from the article]
