Résumé
Transsphenoid surgery is a common procedure for removing pituitary and other sellar tumors. The quality and density of the sphenoid bone, which serves as the access route to the sellar region, can affect the surgical outcomes and complications. However, there is no standardized method to assess sphenoid bone quality. I propose a sphenoid bone quality score, based on criteria and parameters derived from preoperative imaging techniques. This score could provide information on the bone characteristics and challenges of each case, and help to select the optimal surgical approach, instruments, grafts, and measures. This score could also enable a consistent evaluation of the surgery and the outcomes, and facilitate the communication and collaboration among different medical disciplines.
