International Pituitary Education Day: Core Principles and Innovations
6th March, 2026, 07:30 - 08:30
Sunset 1-3

This session provides a robust foundation in the critical anatomical, pathological, and radiographic elements that inform modern pituitary surgery. Through expert-led presentations, attendees will revisit key anatomical structures relevant to endonasal approaches, including parasellar and suprasellar extensions. Updated WHO classifications of pituitary tumors will be discussed, with an emphasis on how evolving pathology informs surgical strategy and postoperative management. Advanced imaging modalities, such as functional MRI and diffusion tensor imaging, will be presented alongside predictive models that guide surgical decision-making. This session is ideal for early-career neurosurgeons, otolaryngologists, endocrinologists, and trainees aiming to build or solidify their foundational knowledge in pituitary disease management.

Objectives

At the conclusion of this session, attendees will be able to:

• Diagnose pituitary tumors more accurately by applying updated imaging modalities and anatomical knowledge presented during the session.
• Distinguish between various types of pituitary tumors using the latest WHO pathological classifications and their clinical implications.
• Plan individualized surgical approaches for pituitary tumors by integrating anatomical, radiographic, and pathological considerations discussed in the session.
