Preoperative pituitary insufficiency (25% vs. 16.7%, p = 0.49), intraoperative CSF space opening (21.1% vs. 37.5%, p = 0.32), along with postoperative new pituitary insufficiency (15% vs. 10%, p = 0.67) or diabetes insipidus/SIADH (10% vs. 13.3%, p > 0.99) with histological markers such as expression of Ki67 (21.1% vs. 13.8%, p = 0.70) and p53 (6.3% vs. 0%, p = 0.39) as well as mitotic rate (5.3% vs. 10.3%, p > 0.99) were comparable between both groups. The gene discussed is MKI67; the disease is diabetes insipidus.
