Available Treatment Options
Treatment is personalized based on the adenoma's size and symptoms. For some patients, medication manages related hormone issues like Diabetes Insipidus. Surgery is often recommended for tumor removal.
The clinic provides two main surgical techniques. The open surgery adenomectomy uses a traditional approach for direct access. The endoscopic surgery adenomectomy is a minimally invasive option. It uses smaller incisions and may allow for a faster recovery. Both surgical packages include a 4 to 8-day hospital stay. They also come with a post-operative consultation and diagnostic imaging.
- Medication Therapy: For managing associated endocrine conditions.
- Open Adenomectomy: A comprehensive surgical package typically costing around $2,800.
- Endoscopic Adenomectomy: A minimally invasive surgical package typically costing around $4,250.
