Abstract
Transsphenoidal endoscopic approach guided by navigator gives significant advantages: Shorter operating time and fewer complications, greater safety and preservation of the nasal passages. Resecting the sphenoidal rostrum and a fragment of adjacent nasal septum improves surgical instrument management into the pituitary fossae and therefore adenoma resection. Endoscope fixation stabilises the vision and allows the second surgeon to help more effectively.
