Preoperative Stratification of Transsphenoidal Pituitary Surgery Patients Based on Surgical Urgency.
Currently, there is no prioritization scale available to distinguish those patients with pituitary tumors who require urgent surgical intervention from those who are candidates for elective treatment. ⋯ We developed a risk stratification schema that may serve as a platform to streamline care to the patients at highest risk. The expert opinions presented provide a basis for future studies regarding the risk prioritization of patients.
