Intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging in pituitary macroadenoma surgery: an assessment of visual outcome.

abstract：:The prepsoas retroperitoneal approach is a minimally invasive technique used for anterior lumbar interbody fusion. The approach may have a more favorable risk profile than the transpsoas approach, decreasing the risks that come with dissecting through the psoas muscle. However, the oblique angle of the spine in the pr...
