Background & Aims: The aims of transsphenoidal surgery (restoration/preservation of vision and amelioration of hormonal excess) are balanced against the risk of inducing new post-operative pituitary deficits. This study aims to assess the rate of new anterior hormonal deficits following transsphenoidal pituitary adenoma surgery in our centre and to assess whether the visibility of normal pituitary gland on pre-operative imaging predic...
