Effects of anesthetics on post-operative 3-month neuroendocrine function after endoscopic transsphenoidal non-functional pituitary adenoma surgery

摘要

Background Anesthetic techniques can affect perioperative neuroendocrine function. The objective of this study was to compare 3-month post-operative neuroendocrine functional outcomes between sevoflurane and propofol anesthesia in patients undergoing endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery (ETS) for removal of non-functional pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) retrospectively.
