Abstract To explore the efficacy of microscopic vs .neuroendoscopic single nostril transsphe-noidal approach surgical methods for the treatment of invasive pituitary adenomas .[Methods]Totally 60 pa-tients with invasive pituitary adenoma in our hospital from Jan .2013 to Sept .2013 were enrolled in the study . All patients were randomly divided into two groups .The observation group( n =30) underwent neuroendo-scopic single nostril transsphenoidal approach surgery ,while the control group( n=30) underwent microscop-ic single nostril transsphenoidal approach surgery .The efficacy was compared between two groups .[Results]The operation time ,intraoperative blood loss ,postoperative hospital stay and other indicators in observation group were obviously better than the control group ,and there was significant difference between two groups ( P <0 .05) ,but there was no significant difference in vision improvement and total tumor resection rate be-tween two groups( P >0 .05) .After operation ,nasal septum defect and sinus infection rate in control group were obviously higher than those in observation group .The incidence rate of total complications in control group was 73 .3 % (22/30) which was obviously higher than that in observation group(20% ,6/30) ,and there was significant difference( P <0 .05) .[Conclusion] Neuroendoscopic single nostril transsphenoidal approach surgery for the treatment of invasive pituitary adenoma has very significant efficacy with short operation time , less intraoperative blood loss ,and can shorten postoperative hospitalization time and reduce the incidence of postoperative complications ,and is helpful for the patients'recovery .
