The microscopic trans-sphenoidal approach has been the treatment of choice of different sellar lesions over the last thirty years. However, due to several advantages brought by the endoscope, which provides a panoramic and close up view of all the anatomic landmarks either in the sphenoid sinus and in the sellar region, an increasing interest for the trans-sphenoidal approach to the sellar and suprasellar region is being noticed in the recent past years. Since the endoscopic approach drives the surgeon through a corridor whose walls were previously hidden by the nasal speculum, the precise knowledge of the endoscopic anatomy and the anatomical landmarks of the surgical approach are essential to better explore the mentioned advantages.
