Transsphenoidal microsurgical removal of 250 pituitary adenomas
Abstract
✓ In a series of 250 pituitary adenomas, 72 (28.8%) were nonsecreting and 178 (71.2%) produced a hypersecretion syndrome: human growth hormone (83), prolactin (59), and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) (36). One-fifth had received prior treatment and one-fourth had visual impairment. The technical aspects of the trans-sphenoidal procedure are given with separate consideration of microadenomas and larger tumors. The results are provided in summary form with emphasis on the favorable outcome following removal of microadenomas. There was one postoperative death, and the complications observed after operation are presented.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
