For Pituitary Disorders
Not all pituitary issues require surgery. However, pituitary surgeons in Chennai may recommend this treatment option to extricate hormone-producing tissues in individuals with Cushing’s disease or acromegaly. Pituitary surgery may also be the best option to minimise tumour size or remove non-hormone-producing tissues that threaten the existence of adjacent structures.
We are the only multidisciplinary team of pituitary specialists in Chennai providing tailored treatments for your pituitary conditions. Our approaches are based on the latest medical developments to ensure restoration of pituitary function and complete recovery post-surgery.

Transnasal Transsphenoidal Endoscopic Approach

This minimally invasive technique is a preferred option for precise tumour removal. During this procedure, doctors access the tumour through the nasal passage and use the patient’s own tissue for reconstruction post-tumour removal. This endoscopic approach also enables normal pituitary function and leaves no visible scars.

Transcranial Approach

This surgery is used when your doctor directly accesses your pituitary tumour by opening your skull to create a more comprehensive route for easy and successful extrication. Doctors often rely on the transcranial method when the pituitary tumour is inaccessible or highly complicated. Moreover, this technique offers a clear view of the tumour and allows surgeons to manoeuvre surgical instruments around the delicate area.

Pre & Post-Surgical Care

Pre-Surgical Care

  • Inform your doctor of your existing medical conditions and medication routines, if any.
  • Avoid taking food or drink for the required timeline before your surgery. This preparation will facilitate surgery.
