Who is a good candidate for this procedure?

Ideal candidates include patients diagnosed with pituitary adenomas (including functioning and non-functioning types), Rathke's cleft cysts, or select craniopharyngiomas that are accessible via the transsphenoidal corridor. Contraindications may include extensive lateral tumor extension beyond the cavernous sinus, active sinus infections, or significant nasal anatomical abnormalities. A thorough preoperative evaluation, including MRI and endocrine assessments, is required to confirm suitability.
