What to Expect with Transsphenoidal Endoscopic Surgery | Brain Surgery Through the Nose?

Transsphenoidal endoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove pituitary tumors. The surgery is performed in conjunction with an ENT surgeon through the nasal passages, using a small camera and instruments, which means there’s no need for an external incision. This technique allows the surgeon to access and remove the tumor without disrupting the surrounding brain tissue. The pituitary gland is a small but crucial part of your brain that controls hormone production, so precise removal of the tumor can help restore normal hormonal balance and relieve symptoms caused by the tumor.
