ABSTRACT
The development of the operating endoscope has made a significant change to the delivery of pituitary surgery over the past 10 years. The improved visualization of the operative field afforded by the endoscope is leading to decreased morbidity and better results. It has also necessitated the move to more joint work between neurosurgeons and otolaryngologists, which fits well with modern multidisciplinary patient management and should lead to safer advances in extended skull base surgery in the future.
