Forty-five @entity1 and fifteen @entity1 with @entity2013 have been treated surgically. @entity1 with @entity5 received pituitary irradiation and postoperative @entity4089 was treated with @entity2847 . The @entity1 have been followed-up for 6-36 months following the operation. The @entity5 were larger and the levels of production higher in @entity1 as compared with @entity1 . All @entity1 had @entity4999 . @entity21696 was present in forty-three @entity1 but not in the @entity1 . After surgery serum @entity4090 levels fell significantly in all @entity1 but remained above normal in thirty-six; @entity4090 remained high in twelve @entity1 . @entity2847 effectively decreased the postoperative @entity4089 . The surgical complications were @entity2895 in one @entity1 and one @entity1 . After surgery six (23%) @entity1 developed @entity73 , six (15%) @entity1374 , eight (18%) impaired @entity701 secretion and five (17%) impaired LH secretion in isolation or combination which had not been present preoperatively. Three @entity1 relapsed. Fifteen @entity1 menstruated after surgery and ten began to do so during the subsequent @entity2847 treatment. Thus, menstruation was restored in all six @entity1 with microadenomas in sixteen of twenty @entity1 with intrasellar macroadenomas and three of nineteen @entity1 with suprasellar @entity652 . The preoperative LH-reserve proved to be an important prognostic indicator. Nine @entity1 , i.e. 50% of @entity1 desiring fertility became pregnant. In the @entity1 gonadal function deteriorated in four @entity1 and did not improve in any without @entity251 treatment.
