Randomized Controlled TrialSuperiority of endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery to microscopic transseptal pituitary surgery for treatment of Cushing's disease.
This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery and microscopic transseptal pituitary surgery in the treatment of Cushing's disease (CD). ⋯ For the treatment of CD, the efficacy of endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery is basically the same as that of traditional microscopic transseptal pituitary surgery. However, the endoscopic surgery can further shorten the operative time, reduce the estimated blood loss, shorten the hospital stay, and reduce the complications.

Has external banding become a historical technique during venous valve repair?
In deep venous valve repair, transcommissural external valvuloplasty (TEV) is the commonly used technique. In some cases, external banding (EB) is combined with this procedure to improve the patency and durability of the surgical procedure. ⋯ There is no more need for EB during the venous valve repair with the increased experience of valvuloplasty techniques. TEV might be enough with acceptable long-term outcomes during deep venous reconstruction.
