| Popis: | Background and Objective The literature on the use of intraoperative computed tomography (iCT) is sparse. We provide our experience of the usefulness of iCT in extent of resection in large and giant pituitary adenomas. Methods A retrospective review was performed of cases using the endonasal endoscopic technique in which iCT was used. Demographic factors, number of scans, and impact on the extent of resection are reported, with visual acuity and field changes. Tumors were graded according to the Hardy classification. Patients with cavernous sinus invasion were excluded. Results All patients received a perioperative computed tomography scan with our iCT scanner. Thirty patients are reported, including 14 large and 16 giant pituitary adenomas, including 14 nonfunctional and 16 growth hormone–secreting tumors. The overall gross total resection (GTR), near-total resection, and subtotal resection rates were 83.3%, 16.7%, and 3.3%, respectively. iCT scanning detected residual in 13 of 30 patients, including 4 with 14 large (29%) and 9 with 16 (56.3%) giant adenomas promoting further surgery. iCT use improved GTR from 43.8% to 81.3% in giant adenomas and from 71% to 86% in large adenomas. Of the 13 patients in whom iCT detected residual disease, none required >2 iCT scans. No intraoperative complications were observed. Conclusions iCT can improve extent of resection in large and giant pituitary adenomas and facilitate maximum safe resection such as GTR or near-total resection in patients where such should be attempted. iCT use may reduce iatrogenic complications and has select financial benefits in our patients' socioeconomic demographics. However, further prospective controlled studies are required to affirm our conclusions. |
