Endoscopic pituitary surgery is the most common surgery used to remove pituitary tumors. Using endoscopic instruments, the neurosurgeon removes tumors with minimal trauma.

The main treatment for pituitary tumors is surgery. Because this is a very small endocrine organ and is located deep in the brain parenchyma, interventions in this area always carry certain risks.

Transsphenoidal endoscopic surgery for pituitary tumors is the most common method today to treat pituitary tumors that require surgical intervention. Is pituitary tumor surgery dangerous? This is a question that most patients with pituitary tumors are concerned about.

Endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery is performed through the nose to remove tumors from the pituitary gland and base of the skull. In this minimally invasive surgery, the doctor intervenes through the nostrils and uses a small endoscope with a light source to reach and remove the tumor.
