Abstract：Objective To explore the long-term therapeutic effects of transsphenoidal microsurgery and bromocryptine on prolactinomas in male patients. Methods The clinical data of 94 male patients with prolactinomas treated by bromocryptine or transsphenoidal microsurgery and bromocryptine from January,2010 to December,2014 were analyzed retrospectively.All the patients were followed up from 24 to 84 months (mean, 47.6 months). Results The patients who underwent transsphenoidal microsurgical treatment followed by medical treatment needed significantly less dosage of oral bromocryptine and had significantly higher remission rate than the patients treated only by oral bromocryptine during the following-up (P<0.05). Conclusion The male patients with prolactinomas should be treated first by oral bromocryptine,and the microsurgical treatment is very helpful to decrease in the dosage of bromocryptine and improving the therapeutic effects.
