In this brief review, general guidelines were given for perioperative managements of the prolactin, growth hormone, ACTH producing adenomas as well as the endocrine inactive adenoma. Perioperative steroid supplement, postoperative diabetes insipidus monitoring and other endocrine evaluation were also included.
