Resumen

Los avances en óptica y endoscopia han revolucionado la cirugía, permitiendo el abordaje endoscópico de la región selar de forma mínimamente invasiva, a través de la cavidad nasal por el seno esfenoidal. Hemos realizado un análisis de los resultados quirúrgicos de 20 pacientes intervenidos de tumores hipofisarios mediante abordaje transseptal-transesfenoidal en los últimos 2 años en nuestro hospital. La edad media de los pacientes fue de 45,6 años, siendo mujeres el 75%. El 30% de los casos fueron adenomas no secretores y otro 30% acromegalia, seguido de enfermedad de Cushing (25%) y prolactinoma (10%). No existieron incidencias intraoperatorias, destacando como complicaciones postquirúrgicas, la aparición de diabetes insípida en 2 casos (10%) y un solo caso de fístula de LCR. Dos pacientes están actualmente en tratamiento hormonal sustitutivo por panhipopituitarismo. El resto han presentado buena evolución, sin recidivas, normalizándose los niveles hormonales.

Abstract

The advances in endoscopic instruments have eased the approach to the sellar region through the nasal cavity. We carry out an analysis of the surgical results on 20 pacients that underwent surgery for sellar tumours through a transeptal-transphenoidal approach in the last 2 years in our hospital. The average was 45,6 years old, and 75% were females. 30% of cases were pituitary adenomas and another 30% acromegaly, 25% Cushing´s disease and 10% prolactinomas. No complications were encountered during surgery being the most common postoperative complications, diabetes insipida in two cases (10%) and CSF leak in one case. At present 2 patients are having hormonal treatment for panhypopituitarism. No patients developed a septal perforation, nasal deformity, epistaxis, meningitis, lip numbness or oronasal fistula. The rest did have good results noith no recurrence and hormonal values back to normal.
