Methods We retrospectively evaluated the charts of 50 patients who underwent either mTSS or eTSS for NFPA in the Department of Neurosurgery, University Hospital Hradec Kralove from 2013 to 2019. We enrolled all patients who were not treated by postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy and who underwent at least two regular postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) tests. We compared the groups in terms of the extent of resection, surgery duration, blood loss, complication rate, overall clinical effect on the endocrinological and ophthalmological deficit, and postoperative growth pattern of the residual tumor mass. Results The mTSS group had significantly shorter surgical time (75 min vs 127 min, P
