The authors describe an innovative surgical instrument designed to remove hard fibrous masses from the pituitary region, which cannot be completely removed using standard transsphenoidal surgical procedures. The innovative features of the instrument include a miniature ultrasonic surgical aspirator and an extra-long bayonet handpiece with a 1.9-mm-diameter translucent tip. Intraoperative use of this refined device may increase the effectiveness of the removal of fibrous lesions within a narrow operative field, while also preserving surgical safety.
