Core Tip	Although clinicians generally recommend conservative treatment for patients with pituitary adenomas (PAs), surgical treatment is occasionally necessary. Currently, surgical interventions utilized among these patients is poorly studied. This study investigated the surgical interventions utilized for patients with PAs occurring during pregnancy. We found that in the second and third trimesters transsphenoidal PA surgery is a safe and effective approach for emergency conditions arising during pregnancy and may be conducted after a multidisciplinary team evaluation. These strategies may open up new avenues for the treatment of PAs during pregnancy in the future.
