Selective resection of the medial wall of the cavernous sinus in acromegaly: patient series

Key Points

• This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of selective resection of the medial wall of the cavernous sinus during surgery for acromegaly.
• Performed selective resection of the medial wall of the cavernous sinus during transsphenoidal surgery (TSS)
• Focused on patients with acromegaly
• Analyzed endocrine remission rates post-surgery
• Enhanced endocrine remission rates observed in patients undergoing selective resection
• Particularly effective in cases of primary transsphenoidal surgery
• Technique was found to be safely executable with minimal complications
