Abstract

Key Learning Points - A modified endoscopic transseptal transphenoidal technique for pituitary surgery is described. - It involves a septal mucosa incision in line with the anterior portion of the middle turbinate. - It does not require excision or deflection of the cartilaginous septum. - It maintains an intact septal mucosa on one side. - It avoids a septal perforation.
