Operative Findings
Two major surgical approaches, trans-sphenoidal (either endoscopic or microscopic) and Sylvian, were used to resect these tumors. The majority of the tumors were resected with the microscopic technique (8/11), with the PCTs (4/4) and SCOs (3/3) undergoing an exclusively microscopic sphenoidal surgical approach. The Sylvian approach was only used on GCTs (2/4), both of which were infundibular. On review of operative reports, no procedure experienced more than 300 milliliters of blood loss.
