摘　　要：<strong>Background:</strong> Advances in the era of modern micro-neurosurgery enabled a reduction of surgical invasiveness and brain retraction which has been defined as minimally invasive or keyhole surgery. Sinonasal endoscopy has brought radical changes in the concepts of pathophysiology and treatment of sinonasal aliments as well as surgical techniques. <strong>Aim of the Study:</strong> To compare between the use of endoscopic and microscopic trans-sphenoidal approach in resection of growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenomas with Suprasellar Extension. <strong>Patients and Methods:</strong> This is a prospective study. It had been conducted upon 20 patients having growth hormone secreting pituitary adenoma admitted to Neurosurgery department in Alzar University hospitals and Nasr City Insurance hospital from 2015 to 2018, divided into 2 groups;group A (10 cases) underwent endoscopic endonasal trans-sphenoidal pituitary adenoma resection, while group B (10 cases) operated upon using the standard microscopic trans-sphenoidal pituitary adenoma resection. The inclusion criteria were included: All patients with growth hormone secreting pituitary adenomas showing manifestations of acromegaly, mass effect or hormonal disturbance. <strong>Results:</strong> This study showed that improvement in outcome was higher in endoscopic group opposed to microscopic group (100% vs. 71% improved headache, 80% vs. 60% visual improvement, 75% vs. 20% fundus improvement and 60% vs. 30% field improvement).<strong> Conclusion:</strong> We concluded that fully endoscopic procedure result in improved rates of complete tumor removal and a reduced incidence of complications, when compared to the microscopic approach.<strong>Background:</strong> Advances in the era of modern micro-neurosurgery enabled a reduction of surgical invasiveness and brain retraction which has been defined as minimally invasive or keyhole surgery.
