  • Title: Experience with sublabial transseptal transsphenoidal hypophysectomy at the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia.
    Author: Said H, Cheah F, Mohamed AS, Hadi AR.
    Journal: Med J Malaysia; 1993 Jun; 48(2):222-4. PubMed ID: 8350800.
    Abstract:
    The transseptal transsphenoidal hypophysectomy has become a relatively frequent procedure in recent years. We performed 20 such procedures between January 1984 and December 1987 for various pituitary disorders. Significant complications such as CSF rhinorrhea, meningitis, diabetes insipidus, haemorrhage and septal perforation are discussed. The mortality rate for the series was 5%. In analysing the data, we feel that this technique of hypophysectomy is a safe procedure.
