Introduction

Dr. Kara Esser was recently on the show for her first time and now is back because she did such a great job. We're going to talk about anesthesia for transphinoidal pituitary resection. This type of procedure has really evolved over the past couple of decades, has become less stressful and less invasive compared to previous approaches. As many as one in seven people have a pituitary tumor but only one in 1000 are clinically symptomatic from it.
