The endonasal microscopic approach for pituitary adenomas and other parasellar tumors: a 10-year experience.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Surgical treatment of C2 tumors remains challenging. Because of the deep location and unique anatomical complexity, anterior exposure in this region is considered difficult and dangerous, and few reports concerning anterior tumor resection and reconstruction exist. OBJECTIVE:To describe a technique of seque...
