Clinical Trial Summary

Pituitary adenoma can be difficult to cure with approximately a third of patients in contemporary series' undergoing incomplete resection. Over the last decade or so a handful of groups have described the use intraoperative ultrasound to improve resection. Although limited, these proof-of-concept studies suggest intraoperative ultrasound is a safe and effective technological adjunct to transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary adenoma. In this prospective development study 30 adult patients will undergo transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary adenoma with prototype intraoperative ultrasound devices. The primary outcomes will be technical feasibility and device safety. The secondary outcomes will be complete versus incomplete radiological resection, endocrinological remission, the occurrence of postoperative complications, operating time, and length of stay.
