Transsphenoidal pituitary decompression Surgical Procedure For Pituitary Tumors, Pituitary Adenoma

Transsphenoidal pituitary decompression is a surgical procedure primarily used to remove pituitary tumors or decompress the pituitary gland. Here's a brief overview: Procedure: Approach: The surgery is performed through the sphenoid sinus, located behind the nose, using an endoscope or microscope for visualization. Goal: It aims to relieve pressure on the pituitary gland and surrounding structures, such as the optic nerves, and restore normal endocrine function. Techniques: The surgeon may use specialized tools to access and remove the tumor or decompress the gland. Indications: Hormone-secreting tumors causing conditions like acromegaly or Cushing's disease. Non-secreting tumors causing visual disturbances or other symptoms due to their size. Pituitary apoplexy (sudden bleeding into the gland). Risks: Cerebrospinal fluid leakage. Damage to normal pituitary tissue, potentially requiring hormone replacement therapy. Infection, such as meningitis. Visual disturbances if nearby optic nerves are affected #Pituitary
