A Study to Evaluate Endoscopic Endonasal Skull Base Surgery and Pituitary Surgery Quality of Life
Rochester, MN
The objectives of this study are to:
-
- Measure the short and long-term overall and nasal-specific quality of life (QOL) impact of patients undergoing Endoscopic Endonasal Skull Base Surgery (EESBS) for pituitary and sellar lesions.
- Determine the relative difference in QOL impact of EESBS for patients undergoing surgery for functional and nonfunctional pituitary adenomas.
- Generate baseline data to development and validate a site-specific endoscopic-specific comprehensive QOL for EESBS.
- Particular tumors of interest include pituitary tumors, Rathke’s cleft cysts, craniopharyngiomas, clival chordomas and chondrosarcomas.
- Specific QOL aims focus on olfaction (sense of smell), gustation (sense of taste) and nasal function.
