BackgroundAlthough transnasal transsphenoidal (TNTS) resection is the standard treatment for pituitary adenomas, the procedure carries a risk of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis disruption. This potential for hypocortisolism often prompts the empiric use of perioperative steroids to mitigate hemodynamic instability. However, there is a paucity of data strictly correlating serum cortisol concentrations with intraoperative blood pressure fluctuations. This study sought to evaluate the rel...
