how is pituitary tumor removed
Most pituitary tumors can be removed transsphenoidally. The approach is through the sphenoid sinus, one of the facial air spaces behind the nose. Rarely, a craniotomy is required, where the skull is opened to reach the tumor.
Another type of surgery to remove a pituitary tumor is called a craniotomy. This procedure involves making an incision in the patientâs scalp and removing a piece of bone from the skull.
