Pituitary Adenoma Surgery

Pituitary adenomas are benign tumors located in the pituitary gland at the base of the brain. Surgery, often performed endoscopically through the nose (transsphenoidal surgery), aims to remove the tumor and alleviate pressure on surrounding structures. This surgery is typically required when the tumor affects vision or causes hormonal imbalances. Post-surgery, patients may need hormone replacement therapy and regular monitoring of hormone levels.
