From time to time on the Neurosurgery Blog, you will see us cross-posting or linking to items from other places when we believe they hit the mark on an issue. We wanted to bring attention to a recent online-only supplement in Neurosurgery, “Congress of Neurological Surgeons Systematic Review and Evidence-Based Guidelines for Patients With Functioning Pituitary Adenomas.” Neurosurgery is the official journal of the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, which provides multimedia, prompt publication of scientific articles on clinical or experimental surgery topics important for the brain, spine, and peripheral nerves, reviews, and other information of interest to readers across the world.
Published August 15, 2025, the supplement provides comprehensive, evidence-based guidelines on the care of adults with functioning pituitary adenomas (FPA). Tailored for neurosurgeons, endocrinologists, and other specialists, the guidelines mark a pivotal step in standardizing care, optimizing patient outcomes, and promoting multidisciplinary coordination.
The CNS and the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) have endorsed the guidelines. The initiative was led by Isabelle M. Germano, MD, MBA, Professor of Neurosurgery at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Chair of the AANS/CNS Section on Tumors (2022–2024), along with D. Ryan Ormond, MD, PhD, Associate Professor of Neurosurgery at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Together, they assembled and worked with a multidisciplinary team of 18 experts in neurosurgery, endocrinology, neuroradiology, and radiation oncology from across the country to develop these guidelines.
