Pituitary Tumor

The pituitary gland is located deep in the head, behind the nasal cavity, and plays a crucial role in regulating hormonesthat control various body functions.

Pituitary tumors are relatively common and mostly benign, but they can affect hormone production and overall health.

Treatment depends on tumor type:

  • Some respond well to medication.

  • Others require surgical removal if they become large or symptomatic.

Surgery is typically performed using the endonasal endoscopic approach, a minimally invasive technique through the nasal cavity.

Treatment Options

Medical Therapy (For Certain Tumors):

Prolactinomas & Some Other Tumor Types → Can be treated effectively with medication.

Surgical Option:

Endonasal Endoscopic Surgery → A minimally invasive approach through the nasal cavity, allowing for precise tumor removal with faster recovery.

Choosing the Right Treatment:
The best approach depends on the tumor type, hormone involvement, and size. Our team specializes in both medical and surgical treatments to ensure the best patient outcomes.
