BACKGROUND: Current treatment of equine pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID) requires daily oral medication. Minimally invasive surgical palliation of this condition is appealing as a single treatment to alleviate the clinical signs of disease, dramatically improving the welfare of the horse.
OBJECTIVE: To develop a surgical approach to the equine pituitary gland, for subsequent treatment of PPID.
STUDY DESIGN: A cadaver study to develop methodology and a terminal procedure under anaesthesia in the most promising techniques.
ANIMALS AND METHODS: Four surgical approaches to the pituitary gland were investigated in cadaver animals. A ventral trans-basispheniodal osteotomy and a minimally invasive intravenous approach via the ventral cavernous sinus progressed to live horse trials.
RESULTS: Technical complications prevented the myeloscopic and trans-sphenopalatine sinus techniques from being successful. The ventral basisphenoidal osteotomy was repeatable and has potential if an intra-operative imaging guidance system could be employed. The minimally invasive approach was repeatable, atraumatic and relatively inexpensive.
CONCLUSIONS: A minimally invasive surgical approach to the equine pituitary gland is possible and allows for needle placement within the target tissue. More work is necessary to determine what that treatment might be, but repeatable access to the gland has been obtained, which is a promising step.
