Abstract
Methods: A retrospective design was used on pituitary adenoma patients that underwent transsphenoidal surgery
between 2015-2017 in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital. The duration between symptoms’ onset and surgery was calculated
in months. VA and VF examinations were performed 1 day before surgery and within 1 to 2 months postoperatively.
Results: There were 71 patients (36 male, 35 female) with decreased VA and narrowed VF, with a median age of
42 years (20-77 years). The median length of duration of onset for both symptoms was 12 months (1-108 months). 40.5%
patients had improved VA postoperatively, with median duration of onset of 11 months. Improvement in VF was experienced
in 67.6% patients, with median duration of onset of 12 months
between 2015-2017 in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital. The duration between symptoms’ onset and surgery was calculated
in months. VA and VF examinations were performed 1 day before surgery and within 1 to 2 months postoperatively.
