In this issue of�Otolaryngologic Clinics,�guest�editors�Drs.�Jean Anderson Eloy, Christina H. Fang, and Vijay Agarwal�bring�their�considerable expertise to the topic of�Pituitary Surgery.�The�management of pituitary lesions has evolved significantly in recent decades, and practice patterns vary considerably depending on location, setting, and surgeon preference.�In this issue,�top experts in the field�consider�topics such as�new advances in endoscopic techniques, current understanding of skull base anatomy, and�the performance of extended approaches in a safe and efficient manner-all timely and valuable information to the practicing rhinologist, neurosurgeon, and comprehensive otolaryngologist, particularly those seeking to learn more about developing an integrated pituitary surgical practice.

Large intracranial lesions are among the most complex and dangerous lesions encountered by neurosurgeons, and a single neurosurgical approach often does not provide a large or safe enough corridor for effective treatment. A combined approach to these surgeries, incorporating open, endoscopic, vascular and keyhole techniques can be more successful. This comprehensive text describes in detail how to select the most appropriate approaches, as well as how to avoid any complications that may arise. High quality videos of the techniques described are available through an online version on Cambridge Core, accessible via the code printed on the inside of the cover. With over 150 colour images supporting the text, this is a definitive reference for anyone involved in intracranial tumor or vascular surgery.
