Abstract
Background
Transsphenoidal surgeons should try to avoid internal carotid artery (ICA) injury but also be prepared to manage it. We analyzed our experience with ICA injury during endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery and present associated risk factors and a management protocol.
Methods
We retrospectively reviewed and analyzed the medical records of 1596 patients who underwent endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary tumor resection in our institution from January 2009 to October 2022.
Results
Six patients experienced an ICA injury. All received timely and effective hemostasis with immediate direct tamponade followed by endovascular treatment. No serious postoperative complications occurred.
Conclusions
We proposed a treatment plan for ICA injuries encountered during endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery and described our hemostasis process, methods of endovascular treatment, and means of postoperative follow-up in detail.
期刊介绍:
Neurochirurgie publishes articles on treatment, teaching and research, neurosurgery training and the professional aspects of our discipline, and also the history and progress of neurosurgery. It focuses on pathologies of the head, spine and central and peripheral nervous systems and their vascularization. All aspects of the specialty are dealt with: trauma, tumor, degenerative disease, infection, vascular pathology, and radiosurgery, and pediatrics. Transversal studies are also welcome: neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neurology, neuropediatrics, psychiatry, neuropsychology, physical medicine and neurologic rehabilitation, neuro-anesthesia, neurologic intensive care, neuroradiology, functional exploration, neuropathology, neuro-ophthalmology, otoneurology, maxillofacial surgery, neuro-endocrinology and spine surgery. Technical and methodological aspects are also taken onboard: diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, methods for assessing results, epidemiology, surgical, interventional and radiological techniques, simulations and pathophysiological hypotheses, and educational tools. The editorial board may refuse submissions that fail to meet the journal''s aims and scope; such studies will not be peer-reviewed, and the editor in chief will promptly inform the corresponding author, so as not to delay submission to a more suitable journal.
With a view to attracting an international audience of both readers and writers, Neurochirurgie especially welcomes articles in English, and gives priority to original studies. Other kinds of article - reviews, case reports, technical notes and meta-analyses - are equally published.
Every year, a special edition is dedicated to the topic selected by the French Society of Neurosurgery for its annual report.
