Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess wether the SONDA visual field test is suitable for patients with a supra sellar tumour.
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the effectiveness and impact of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) on patients with pituitary gland tumors.
This is a prospective, single-blinded, multicenter study evaluating the benefit of sinonasal irrigations following endoscopic pituitary surgery. The goal of this study is to create practice changing guidelines with objective data highlighting the importance of irrigations on postoperative outcomes for pituitary surgery.
Measurment of electrophysiological properties of the human pituitary gland during removal of a pituitary adenoma. Assessment if these properties are sufficient for intra-operative identification of different tissues.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the CONVIVO confocal endomicroscope in discriminating between normal and abnormal tissue in vivo during brain tumor surgery. The interpretation of intraoperative images obtained in situ will be tested against conventional histologic evaluation of targeted biopsies from imaged tissue. The study team hypothesize that there will be a high degree of correlation between images obtained with the CONVIVO system and conventional histologic interpretation.
To conduct a retrospective multicenter cohort study to define benchmark values for best achievable outcomes following transsphenoidal resection of pituitary adenomas.
(1) Objective to establish an evaluation system for predicting the risk of epistaxis after endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery( 2) Objective to determine the risk factors of epistaxis after endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary adenoma surgery. Referring to domestic and foreign literature, combined with experts' opinions, the related risk factors that may cause postoperative nosebleed of pituitary adenoma are: 22 patients and surgical factors. 3) Objective to establish a risk prediction model of epistaxis after endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary tumor resection. According to the occurrence of epistaxis, the patients in the modeling group were divided into epistaxis group and non epistaxis group. The risk factors of epistaxis were taken as the independent variable, and the occurrence of epistaxis was taken as the dependent variable. The variables with statistical significance in univariate analysis were included in the multivariate logistic regression model, and the risk prediction model of epistaxis after pituitary tumor resection was established by back LR method.(4) Objective to verify the risk prediction model of endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary adenoma epistaxis. The validation model is used to validate the prediction model, and the Hosmer-Lemeshow degree is used to match the model. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the validity of the model.(5) Application of risk prediction model.
This trial is to determine the effect of Tranexamic Acid (TXA) on blood loss during endoscopic pituitary surgery. The hypothesis of this study is that TXA will reduce blood loss during surgery compared to a placebo. To answer this hypothesis, the investigators are conducting a randomized controlled trial in which half of participants will receive TXA and half will receive placebo (saline) in a double blind fashion.
Headache is a very common main complaint of patients with GH pituitary tumor, which has seriously affected the normal work and life of patients. Although the current surgery and drugs have a certain effect on patients with headache, the overall effect is not satisfied. However, the use of COX-2 inhibitors, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and other analgesics are only effective for some patients with headaches, and long-term use has adverse reactions. Therefore, it is necessary to seek new treatments for postoperative headaches in patients with GH pituitary tumors. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) modulates the excitability of the underlying cerebral cortex by applying a rapidly changing magnetic field on the surface of the scalp. It is a relatively simple and safe method. It is currently approved for treating depression, migraine, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and Alzheimer's disease. Several small clinical studies have proven that rTMS can be used to prevent and treat Headache. Therefore, this study aims to observe the efficacy and safety of TMS in the treatment of postoperative headache in patients with GH pituitary tumors.
1. Access the optimal cut point value of copeptin which predicts development of central diabetes insipidus postoperatively with highest accuracy. 2. Access the optimal cut point value of copeptin which predicts the lack of central diabetes insipidus postoperatively with highest accuracy 3. Access the relative change in copeptin values between baseline and post-surgery as a predictor for diabetes insipidus development.
