Lesions located in the retrosellar region, interpeduncular cistern, and petroclival region are among the most difficult to access in neurosurgery. To safely access the interpeduncular fossa through a midline transsphenoidal route, mobilization of the pituitary gland is required. The endonasal endoscopic intradural pituitary hemitransposition approach is an effective technique for resection of lesions located within the retrosellar and petroclival regions, allowing adequate exposure while preserving pituitary function.
