Abstract：Transsphenoidal endoscopic surgery is a surgical method commonly used to treat pituitary adenomas.Delayed hyponatremia(DSH)is a frequent postoperative complication,with an incidence rate ranging from 3.6%to 19.8%.Although the diagnosis can be made by measuring serum sodium concentration,patients often lack typical clinical symptoms,making it challenging to predict the onset time and increasing the risk of misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis,ultimately leading to an increased risk of mortality.In recent years,numerous studies have analyzed and summarized the risk factors associated with DSH in order to improve its impact on the prognosis of patients with pituitary adenomas.This article provides a review of research progress on the risk factors for DSH following transsphenoidal endoscopic surgery for patients with pituitary adenomas,offering valuable insights for clinical practice.
