Trans Nasal Trans Sphenoidal Endoscopic Surgery (TNTSES) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to access and treat conditions within the skull, specifically in the area of the pituitary gland and nearby structures. This surgical approach involves entering the nasal passages and sphenoid sinus to reach the surgical site, eliminating the need for external incisions.
