Abstract
The surgical approach to the sellar pathology has undergone significant changes since its first descriptions. Initially addressed by neurosurgical management, today the transseptosphenoidal pituitary approach has become one of the most used pathways by the otolaryngologist to reach sellar lesions. This publication describes one of the trans- septosphenoidal approach used by the otolaryngologist at the Instituto de Neurocirugía Dr. Alfonso Asenjo (INCA) in addressing sellar lesions and its variations in primary pituitary surgery, secondary surgery, multiple interventions and in cases of anatomical variations of the posterior nasal septum.
