Utilization of iMRI for Transsphenoidal Resection of Pituitary Macroadenomas

A Single-center, Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial Investigating the Utility if Intraoperative MRI in Transphenoidal Pituitary Surgery Off Macroadenomas.

• Status: Terminated
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 10 (actual)

• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The investigators are studying the utility of intra-operative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) during transsphenoidal pituitary surgery for large macroadenomas by randomizing patients to either an intra-operative MRI after resection, or no intra-operative MRI. The investigators will then count the number of gross total resection in each group of patients and also the complications related to surgery.

Conditions
