Transnasal endoscopic approach represents a novel, mini-invasive surgical method for removing sellar tumours. The paper presents
five-year experience with surgery for pituitary adenomas using this technique. From March 2007 to April 2012, 101 surgeries in 99 patients
with the diagnosis of pituitary adenoma were carried out at the Department of Neurosurgery of the Ostrava Teaching Hospital.
The surgeries were performed using the transnasal approach, in collaboration with an otorhinolaryngologist, under endoscopic control.
Radical resection was achieved in 81.8 % of patients. There was no mortality in the group; complications occurred in 5.9 % of patients.
