The authors presented individualized unilateral subfrontal approach and endoscopic transsphenoidal approach (ETSA) in a series of patients and elaborated on their advantages and indications in resecting giant TSMs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 38 patients with giant TSMs operated by a single surgeon between March 2012 and November 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients underwent unilateral subfrontal approach and ETSA according to preoperative imaging characteristics. Tumor characteristics, surgical details, preoperative symptoms, and neurological outcomes of TSMs patients were collected and analyzed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In 31 patients operated with the unilateral subfrontal approach, total resection (Simpson grade I or II) was achieved in 27 patients (87.0%), while 6 patients (85.7%) achieved GTR in 7 patients using ETSA. The postoperative visual improvement was maintained in 22 (81.5%) and 5 patients (83.3%). Recurrence or progression was only observed in 2 (7.4%) patients operated with the unilateral subfrontal approach. There was no mortality in our series.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Preoperative imaging and visual function are important for surgical approach selection. Maximum tumor resection and optic nerve protection can be achieved concurrently by taking advantage of these surgical approaches.
