Additional information
This procedure is performed using a minimally invasive endoscopic transnasal transsphenoidal approach for pituitary adenoma, avoiding external incisions and allowing faster recovery. The technique enables precise tumor removal while preserving normal pituitary tissue. The operation is performed in collaboration with endocrinology for perioperative hormonal evaluation and postoperative follow-up. Advanced microsurgical techniques and structured ICU monitoring ensure safe treatment, especially in patients with suspected acromegaly.
