Abstract
Transsphenoidal surgery for the treatment of pituitary masses in cats and dogs has become a more established treatment over the last 2 decades. Although expert centers and surgeons that provide this service remain limited, the patient population presented for pituitary surgery increases with wider availability of advanced imaging, together with more challenging cases. In this review, the current state of hypophysectomy is described with future challenges and opportunities.
