Held important development with the description and improvement of surgical treatment of pituitary tumor through videoendoscopic technique. The technique describes the endoscopic fully endonasal transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary tumors. A series (over 120 cases) of procedures, over last 7 years, in a University of Campinas and University Hospitals in Brazil was done. It described statistics biochemical, clinical and radiologic results with a specific radiologic pre- and post-operative image. An angiotopographic bone study for sphenoid sinus details and magnetic brain image is used. In the fully endonasal endoscopic technique, we encountered less morbidity/mortality statistics and more patient satisfaction. The advancements of fully endoscopic endonasal surgery of pituitary adenomas led to a better endocrinologic clinical and radiologic control, and less morbidity.
