The endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach to the sellar region for the removal of pituitary adenomas and of other neoplasms in the same area has proved its reliability and effectiveness for the very wide vision it offers, coupled with minimal surgical trauma. Indications and advantages of such a technique are reported, focused on the treatment of lesions of the sellar and parasellar environment in pediatric age-group patients, and based on a consecutive series of 100 patients, 3 of them adolescents, treated during the last 3 years.
