Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction in Patients Undergoing Pituitary Removal Surgery

This statement is associated with prolonged hospital stays by increasing morbidity. We wanted to see the incidency of postoperative cognitive dysfunction in patients undergoing elective pituitary tumor removal surgery.
