Pituitary Adenoma Surgery Survey: Neurosurgical Centers and Pituitary Adenomas.

In our survey, most centers perform less than 100 surgeries for pituitary adenomas. In most centers, pituitary surgeries are performed by one or two neurosurgeons. Residents have a limited exposure to this type of surgery, and the formal pituitary board is not a standard. Nonfunctioning adenomas make up most of surgically treated adenomas. This study can serve as a benchmark for further analyses of pituitary adenoma centers in Europe.
