Prognostic Indicators in Pituitary Adenoma Surgery: a Comprehensive Analysis of Surgical Outcomes and Complications.

Prognostic Indicators in Pituitary Adenoma Surgery: a Comprehensive Analysis of Surgical Outcomes and Complications.

Predicting the outcome of pituitary surgery, particularly the risk of complications, is a critical determinant in selecting the appropriate treatment modality for patients. To date, only a limited number of risk factors have been identified for complications following pituitary surgery, including tumor size, younger age, and previous surgical intervention. Furthermore, existing studies have demonstrated that prolactin levels can serve as a surrogate marker for assessing pituitary function, specifically revealing associations between elevated prolactin levels and anterior pituitary insufficiencies.

In a retrospective study on the "HYP'OP" cohort, the aim of the study is to identify predictive factors for both surgical outcomes and complications.
