Introduction

One or two neurosurgeons often conduct pituitary procedures in hospitals [2]. This kind of surgery is rarely performed on residents, and formal pituitary boards are not required [3]. Most surgically removed adenomas are non-functioning adenomas [4]. The results of this study can be used as a standard for future examinations of pituitary adenoma centres across Europe. Modern medical innovations including the endoscope, neuronavigation, intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging, and intraoperative computer tomography have helped pituitary adenoma surgery advance in recent years. An increasing shift in clinical practise is reflected in modifications [5]. And provide the industry with fresh difficulties. Regarding neurosurgical practise in Europe, there is no unambiguous agreement on factors like the number of centres per nation, the caseload at each centre, the number of specialist neurosurgeons, how young neurosurgeons are trained, etc [6]. In order to cover as many neurosurgical departments in Europe that undertake pituitary adenoma surgery as feasible, we assembled an international exploratory team of neurosurgeons and conducted an internet search. Each participant in the research group asked their national counterparts to take part in the survey [7]. DN and MM were in charge of the nations that the other members of the study team did not cover. The study group asked 405 departments to take part in the survey when they contacted them [8]. The survey was to be finished by the Send it to the heads of the corresponding departments or a neurosurgeon in charge of the pituitary programme. All survey questions are provided as supplemental data [9]. The goal was to have one survey submitted by each department. 58 questions made up the &e survey, which could be segmented into the following categories: survey. Statistics For each survey question, descriptive statistics were computed [10].

Discussion

The Pearson's chi-square test with corrected residuals was used to look for differences in survey response patterns based on certain grouping characteristics. The 0.05 threshold for statistical significance was used. For statistical evaluations and data processing, SPSS version 25 and Microsoft Excel were both used. Neurosurgeons made up the study team, and they also provided the answers to the questions. The study group reviewed question selection and the appropriate ratio of specific inquiries addressing the majority of pituitary surgery topics. A survey with an extremely low response rate would result from this method. As a result, the committee agreed to exclude case discussions and only include questions that a neurosurgeon should be prepared to answer. Instead, we concentrated on broader issues. The study's time frame was from, and the paper examined demographic data and treatment options for non-functioning pituitary adenomas. The survey might be finished in as little as 12 minutes. Every survey was finished.

Conclusion

We collected data from European nations. From five nations, we were unable to get responses. This pituitary practise study is the biggest neurosurgery survey of its sort that we are aware of. An outstanding overview of pituitary surgery in Italy was provided by Solari got information from 37 of the 41 facilities that conduct pituitary surgery. When using a transsphenoidal technique for microscopic analysis, endoscopy predominated. In centres, a multidisciplinary tumour board met often. a fairly high response rate was attained in the Italian pituitary survey. Our team examined data from 254 departments across Europe, which is a far bigger absolute quantity but a significantly lower relative coverage than in a single country research. &us, you need be cautious while analysing the data from our study. Each member of our research team was in charge of their own territories, while DN and MM were in charge of the nations that our study team members did not cover.
