	<abstract>&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Background &amp; Importance: The aim of this study was to demonstrate the result of transsphenoid microsurgery for Cushing disease in our&amp;nbsp;center and comparing the results in details with other articles, to achieve the best decision for patients management in future.&lt;br&gt;
Case Presentation: Between 1991 to 2015, 50 patients suffering from Cushing disease were operated. Before operation, endocrine tests&amp;nbsp;and neuroimaging examinations were done for all patients and all of them were operated via transsphenoid approach. They were followed&amp;nbsp;up in clinic with endocrine tests and imaging in regular intervals. During this study, 50 Cushing cases including 47 primary and three&amp;nbsp;secondary tumors were operated. Thirty four (68%) tumors were microadenoma and 16 (32%) macroadenoma. A patient died due to postoperative&amp;nbsp;fulminant meningitis (mortality=2%). Mean of follow-up was five years. Overall, 40 (80%) patients had remission after operation&amp;nbsp;and 9 (18%) patients achieved no remission, three of them had macroadenoma and six microadenoma. During follow-up period, three (6%)&amp;nbsp;patients had recurrence which needed second operation. In secondary tumor and in macroadenoma with cavernous sinus involvement, the&lt;br&gt;
result was not good (33% and 0% remission, respectively).&lt;br&gt;
Conclusion: Transsphenoid surgery is a safe and effective first choice method to manage Cushing disease compared to other treatment&amp;nbsp;modalities. In recurrent or resistant cases, other modalities could help to manage patients.&lt;/p&gt;
