Transnasal Endoscopic Pituitary Surgery in Bhopal

Understanding Transnasal Endoscopic Pituitary Surgery

Transnasal endoscopic pituitary surgery is a minimally invasive neurosurgical procedure used to remove selected pituitary tumors and other lesions around the pituitary gland. The surgeon reaches the pituitary through the nose and sphenoid sinus, avoiding the need for an external skull incision.

Surgery may be considered when a pituitary tumor causes vision problems, hormone-related complications, continues to grow, or produces symptoms that require surgical treatment. The decision depends on the tumor’s type, size, location, hormone activity, symptoms, and imaging findings.

Our Treatment Approach

At Snayu Neurocare, patients undergo specialist neurosurgical evaluation to determine whether transnasal endoscopic pituitary surgery is appropriate.

Assessment may include MRI or other imaging, neurological evaluation, and appropriate hormonal testing. Treatment planning considers the tumor’s relationship with the pituitary gland, optic nerves, blood vessels, and surrounding structures. Selected patients may be managed with medication, observation, surgery, or other treatment depending on the diagnosis.

The approach emphasizes careful surgical planning, patient safety, preservation of important structures, and appropriate postoperative monitoring and follow-up.

When Should You Seek Emergency Care?

A sudden, severe headache with new vision loss or double vision, vomiting, confusion, reduced consciousness, or other sudden neurological changes may indicate a medical emergency such as pituitary apoplexy. Seek immediate emergency medical care rather than waiting for a routine neurosurgical appointment.
