Repeat Gamma Knife surgery for trigeminal neuralgia: long-term results.

abstract：OBJECT:Whereas most pituitary adenomas are removable via the transsphenoidal approach, certain cases, such as dumbbell-shaped or suprasellar adenomas and recurrent and/or fibrous tumors, remain difficult to treat. The authors present their experience with the extended endoscopic endonasal approach to the suprasellar ar...
