08/01/1999 - "Negative sellar exploration (despite the results of endocrine evaluation indicating Cushing's disease), the high incidence of failure of total hypophysectomy, and remission of Cushing's syndrome after unsuccessful hypophysectomy and sellar irradiation suggest that the etiology of refractory Cushing's disease, in some patients, lies near the sella but not in the pituitary gland.

05/01/1984 - "Endocrine ablation therapy, such as oophorectomy, adrenalectomy and hypophysectomy, has been frequently used for the advanced breast cancer patients. "

10/01/2008 - "Nevertheless, hypophysectomy has proven efficacy for palliative pain treatment as well as increasing duration of survival. "
01/01/1982 - "This study shows that subtotal hypophysectomy may be adequate to achieve satisfactory clinical remission and pain control. "
10/01/2008 - "Older publications as well as this case have shown the benefit of hypophysectomy for pain treatment. "

12/01/1992 - "Of the 214 OSA patients who accepted CPAP, 181 are still on treatment, with a mean daily rate of use of 5.6 +/- 0.1 hours (mean +/- SEM); 22 patients stopped CPAP after a variable period of time; 10 patients died and one acromegalic patient was considered cured after hypophysectomy for a pituitary adenoma. "
08/01/1987 - "Only 7 of the 100 patients had no pituitary adenoma found at operation, and they obtained no clinical remission even after partial or subtotal hypophysectomy. "

06/01/2015 - "He had the merit to develop and popularize in Italy this approach for pituitary tumors, performing 47 transsphenoidal hypophysectomies out of his personal series of 66 patients between 1927 and 1935. "
