What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the effectiveness of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols in patients undergoing surgery for pituitary gland tumors. It focuses on various aspects of the ERAS approach, including pre-operative and post-operative rehabilitation, pain management, and early resumption of activities. By comparing outcomes between patients who follow the ERAS protocol and those who do not, the study seeks to identify which elements of ERAS contribute most significantly to patient recovery and safety. The findings will help enhance medical practices related to pituitary tumor management.
