Description

Transsphenoidal Surgery, by Drs. Laws and Lanzino, captures all of today's clinical knowledge on the multidisciplinary management of pituitary tumors, with a focus on surgical techniques. Acclaimed international experts bring you detailed guidance on natural history, radiologic and clinical aspects, surgical indications, and resection techniques. What’s more, case presentations and clinical photographs help you reduce the risk of error and advance your own surgical skills.

• Refine your skills through discissions of intraoperative imaging, new techniques in transsphenoidal surgery, new microsurgical procedures, radiosurgical techniques, and more.
• Get balanced and comprehensive perspectives on pituitary surgery from well-recognized international, multidisciplinary contributors.
• Make better-informed decisions with case presentations, drawn from Dr. Laws's 40 plus years as a leader in pituitary surgery, that include a summary of the clinical history, preoperative radiographs, and postoperative clinical information and radiographs.
• Tap into exceptional visual guidance and reduce the risk of error through abundant clinical photographs and line drawings.
• Find the information you need quickly via a consistent chapter-to-chapter organization.

Preface

Edward Laws, Giuseppe Lanzino
This book, which reviews the current state of transsphenoidal surgery, is dedicated to those individuals who had the courage to remain true to what had become an unpopular surgical concept, and to revive what has ultimately become one of the major advances of 21 st century neurosurgery. After performing some 440 transsphenoidal operations for pituitary lesions, Harvey Cushing abandoned the procedure in favor of craniotomy towards the end of his surgical career, and most of the rest of the neurosurgical world followed suit.
In Europe, Oskar Hirsch in Vienna continued enthusiastically with his endonasal transsphenoidal approach and ultimately brought it to the United States. In the British Isles, Norman Dott, after a year with Cushing in 1925, became an exponent of the sublabial transssphenoidal approach, and taught it to Gerard Guiot of France. Guiot trained Jules Hardy of Montreal Canada, and with the concepts of excellent lighted transsphenoidal retractors, the operating microscope, intraoperative fluoroscopy, and the idea of selective removal of microadenomas, a new era of pituitary surgery had begun.
In the United States, early pioneers of the method included Nicholas Zervas, John Van Gilder, George Tindall, Charles Wilson, Martin Weiss, Ivan Ciric, George Udvarhelyi, Kalmon Post, and others who have inspired and influenced all of us who follow.
These individuals had the courage to learn and develop a novel technique, to work collaboratively with Otorhinolaryngologists and Endocrinologists, and to persist in publishing and presenting their work despite resistance and even ridicule from their more traditional colleagues. It is exciting to consider how the evolution of these concepts has changed much of what we do in Neurosurgery, and how much this has benefitted our patients.
We are eternally grateful as well to our wives and families who have also sustained us in this work.
