✓ An endoscope was used in transsphenoidal surgery and eventually replaced the operating microscope as the tool for visualization. This study focuses on 50 patients (28 females and 22 males) with a median age of 38 years (range 14–88 years).

However, these surgical routes were burdened by severe complications and high mortality rates. Recently, the development of endoscopic endonasal techniques has revolutionized the surgical strategies for approaching the sella and adjacent areas and increased the development of transsphenoidal surgery.
