International Pituitary Education Day: Functional Pituitary Disorders – Modern Management
6th March, 2026, 08:35 - 09:35
Sunset 1-3

Building upon foundational principles, this session is dedicated to the nuanced intraoperative decision-making and advanced technical skills required for managing complex pituitary lesions. Through high-yield case discussions and expert commentary, the session will address the management of residual or recurrent tumors, intraoperative CSF leaks, and cavernous sinus invasion. Faculty will share pearls and pitfalls from their own experience, including handling of rare tumor subtypes and decision-making in reoperations. Advanced endoscopic techniques, adjunct technologies such as intraoperative navigation and angled endoscopy, and multidisciplinary team strategies will be emphasized. This session is intended for experienced neurosurgeons, skull base teams, and those seeking to refine their surgical judgment and operative finesse.

Objectives

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

• Manage intraoperative challenges in complex pituitary surgery cases, including CSF leaks, cavernous sinus invasion, and recurrent or residual tumors, using evidence-based strategies discussed during the session.
• Recommend appropriate surgical techniques and adjunct technologies—such as angled endoscopy and intraoperative navigation—based on individual patient and tumor characteristics presented in case-based discussions.
• Evaluate surgical decision-making processes and outcomes by critically analyzing expert case presentations and integrating multidisciplinary perspectives to optimize patient care.
