High-Definition Imaging in Endoscopic Transsphenoidal Pituitary Surgery

Abstract

HD imaging in endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery accounts for significantly better identification of anatomic structures in comparison with SD images. Additionally, the subjective impression of video quality is significantly better in HD. This improved intraoperative orientation by better digital image quality might contribute to reduce the gap in intraoperative visual accuracy between microsurgery and endoscopy in pituitary surgery.
