Abstract:

If during pituitary surgery injuries of the hypothalamus, the pituitary stalk and the anterior/posterior pituitary gland happen, corresponding hormone-related disorders can occur. Postoperative hyponatremia usually develops between the 5th and 8th postoperative day. Therefore, after a transsphenoidal pituitary adenoma resection, close postoperative monitoring of pituitary function (with regard to pituitary insufficiency) and water metabolism (to avoid abrupt fluctuations in the sodium level in the blood) is of great importance.
