Abstract:
Objective To explore the operating approaches through cavity for large tumors in sellar area. Methods The one side orbit-below frontal approach was used for 13 cases with large tumor on axial line from inside suprasellar and the orbit pterional approach was selected for 11 cases with larger tumor in suprasellar area or outside the area. Results Total removal was achieved in 9 cases, subtotal in 9 cases and partial in 6 cases. 1 patient died after operation. The rest recovered well recoveered without serious complication. Conclusions The two approaches have the merits of simple technique, exposing well, gentle brain pulling and few complication, which are suitable for operation on the large tumor in sellar area.
