This paper reports about the important development with the description and improvement of surgical treatment of pituitary tumor through video-endoscopic technique. This video-endoscopic technique describes the endoscopic fully endonasal transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary tumors. A series of, over 120 cases, of procedures over last seven years, in a particular and University Hospitals in Brazil were included in this study. 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 lead to a better endocrinologic clinical and radiologic control, less morbidity.
