Surgery induced hypopituitarism in acromegalic patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis of the results.
Pedro CarvalhoEva LauDavide CarvalhoPublished in: Pituitary (2016)
Our study provides new data on the incidence rates of hypopituitarism, specific pituitary axis deficiencies and diabetes insipidus after surgical treatment of acromegaly. Somatotroph function appears to be more prone to deficit than the other axes. However, there is a high heterogeneity between studies and several factors may influence the incidence of hypopituitarism.
