Nasal Irrigation Apply in Patients After Transsphenoidal Pituitary Tumor Resection
Eligible patients who were willing to participate in transsphenoidal pituitary tumor resection after informed consent were selected as the study subjects,Randomly divided into experimental group and control group. The experimental group apply the routine postoperative nursing process of transsphenoidal pituitary tumor plus nasal irrigation nursing process, the control group apply the routine postoperative nursing process of transsphenoidal pituitary tumor .After the removal of nasal gauze,we use visual analogue scale (VAS) to score and observe the clinical symptoms of nasal cavity in both groups. The patients were asked to mark out the score that could represent the severity of their symptoms for evaluation. The nurses filled in the form, and the nasal comfort was re-evaluated through face-to-face talks and telephone follow-up at two days ,1 week, 4 weeks and 12 weeks after the removal of the gauze.we will apply nasosinusitis scale (SNOT -20) to measure the quality of life of the patients in the two groups at the first day, 1 week, 4 weeks and 12 weeks after the removal of nasal strips .After 12 weeks of discharge, two groups of patients were hospitalized for reexamination with pituitary MRI or CT,to determine the incidence of postoperative sphenoid sinusitis.Patients were followed up and interviewed by telephone one week, four weeks and 12 weeks after discharge, were evaluate the incidence of complications such as nasal bleeding, cerebrospinal fluid leakage and intracranial infection.

To Assess the Impact of theERAS Consensus on Patients With Endoscopic Pituitary Tumor Surgery
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the effectiveness and impact of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) on patients with pituitary gland tumors. This study is particularly significant as ERAS has been a prominent focus in international medical treatment, emphasizing improved patient recovery and safety. The main questions it aims to answer are: How does ERAS affect the effectiveness and prognosis of patients with pituitary gland tumors? Which specific inspection and evaluation items within the ERAS protocol genuinely assist patients? Participants in this study will undergo various ERAS protocols, including pre-operative to post-operative rehabilitation measures, pain management, surgical techniques, and early resumption of eating and activities. This comprehensive approach is designed to reduce complications, shorten hospital stays, and speed up patient recovery. Additionally, this study will conduct a thorough statistical analysis to determine which aspects of the ERAS protocol are most beneficial. By comparing the outcomes of patients undergoing the ERAS protocol with those who do not, researchers aim to understand better the balance between ERAS and the Choosing Wisely initiative, which advocates for reducing unnecessary medical interventions. This research is crucial in advancing medical knowledge and practice, particularly in managing pituitary gland tumors, and contributes to the broader goals of enhancing medical quality and patient safety.
