Currently, total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and inhaled anesthesia are both commonly used for transsphenoidal pituitary adenoma resection. However, optimal choice for anesthesia maintenance in transsphenoidal surgery remains unclear. Previous studies focusing on this question provided fragmentary assessment and controversial results. The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate whether propofol and sevoflurane have different effect on post-anesthetic recovery after transsphenoidal resection of pituitary adenoma.
