Modification of Hirsch's Transsepto-Sphenoidal Method for Hypophysectomy

Pages 519-524 | Received 08 Feb 1960, Published online: 08 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

An account is given of a series of operations performed by Hirsch's method for hypophysectomy modified in that the columella was transected at the point of transition to the upper lip and turned aside. This afforded a possibility of operating in the exact midline and gave considerably more space for the operation. A speculum is described, which has been constructed specially for this method.
