Abstract
Although removal of pituitary tumors yields excellent surgical outcomes, perturbations in the hypothalamic-pituitary axis are not uncommon. Careful assessment of postoperative hormone status with supplementation or further medical therapy is critical to successful outcomes. Although many centers routinely use perioperative steroids, they can be associated with worse outcomes in the absence of intact preoperative adrenal function or damage to the pituitary gland or stalk during surgery. Postoperative assessment of prolactin, cortisol, and growth hormone can be prognostic of surgical cure. Hormonal axes should be reevaluated routinely several weeks after surgery, because longitudinal monitoring is important for surgical and medical outcomes.
