Pituitary Tumor Surgery
Pituitary Tumor Surgery is performed to remove abnormal growths in the pituitary gland, located at the base of the brain. These tumors may cause hormonal imbalances or pressure on nearby structures. The most common approach is transsphenoidal surgery, done through the nose with minimal disruption. This surgery helps restore hormonal function and relieve symptoms such as headaches and vision issues.
Transsphenoidal Surgery – A minimally invasive technique where the tumor is accessed through the nasal cavity, offering faster recovery and less risk.
Craniotomy – An open surgical approach used for large or complex tumors that cannot be reached through the nose
Diagnosis includes hormone level tests and imaging like MRI or CT scans to determine tumor size, type, and impact on nearby structures. Endocrinological assessments and visual field exams also help decide on surgical intervention.
