Background: Reporting extent of resection (EOR) in pituitary adenoma (PA) surgery via endoscopic endonasal approaches (EEA) is not standardized. The use of 3-dimensional volumetric analysis is proposed for measurement of tumor volumes and EOR. Their relationship with visual outcomes is explored. Methods: A retrospective analysis of PA patients presenting with visual disturbances and treated surgically via EEA by a single surgeon between 2006 and 2021. The main outcome was visual function at 12 months post-operatively. Results: 142 patients were included. Majority were male, with mean age of 57.1 years. Most (58.2%) presented with bitemporal hemianopsia. The mean tumor size was 11.3 cm3. The mean EOR was 84.5% (range 21.5-99.8%), with a mean post-operative tumor volume of 1.9 cm3. Visual function improved in 92.2%. Re-resection for visual deterioration was performed in 5.7% of patients, (mean time 2.4 years). No clinical, pathologic, or imaging factors were significantly associated with visual outcome. A significant association was found between EOR and re-resection (mean EOR 66.7% vs 85.6%, p=0.002). Conclusions: For patients with PA presenting with visual deficits, treatment with EEA led to improvement in visual function in the majority of patients, without the need for gross total resection. EOR was significantly associated with the need for re-resection.
