- ArticleDebry G, Schaub C, Drouin P, Szikla G, Talairach J.Neurochirurgie. 1977 Mar 15;23(1):3-20.New interest for pituitary neurosurgery in diabetic retinopathy is based on several data: long-term efficacy of various medical therapeutic agents is still unproved, ocular treatment by photocoagulation remains symptomatic, growth-hormone (HGH) has a permissive or supportive role in the development of diabetic retinopathy. Stereo-GIHF performs the pituitary interstitial irradiation by stereotaxic implantation of a gamma point emitter (198Au) and results in the selective blockade of HGH secretion peaks. Different from all other procedures achieving a more or less complete hypophysectomy, Stereo-GIHF introduces a new trend for the functional neurosurgical treatment of diabetic retinopathy.
