Pituitary Tumour Surgery Trend 2026

Pituitary tumour surgery, often performed via the nose (endoscopic transsphenoidal), precisely removes growths while preserving healthy gland tissue. It is primarily used to relieve pressure on the optic nerves, treat hormone overproduction, or biopsy suspicious lesions. Ideal candidates include patients with vision loss, acromegaly, Cushing’s disease, or non-functioning tumours causing symptoms. This minimally invasive approach offers faster recovery and high success rates.
