Endoscopic Pituitary Surgery

A Keyhole Approach to Treating Hormonal and Vision Problems

The pituitary gland is a small but powerful gland located deep inside the brain — often called the “master gland” because it controls many vital hormones. When a tumor develops in this gland, it can affect your vision, cause headaches, and disturb hormonal balance in the body.

At Sai Sankara Rao Brain Spine & Neuro Clinic, we specialize in Endoscopic Pituitary Surgery, a safe, minimally invasive procedure to remove pituitary tumors without cutting open the skull.

What Is Endoscopic Pituitary Surgery?

Endoscopic Pituitary Surgery is a “keyhole” technique where the tumor is removed through the nose using a thin camera (endoscope) and delicate surgical tools. This approach offers less pain, no visible scars, and faster recovery.

When Is It Needed?

You may need this surgery if you have:

• Pituitary adenoma (non-cancerous tumor)

• Hormone-related symptoms like unexplained weight changes, irregular periods, or abnormal growth

• Vision problems due to pressure on the optic nerves

• Headaches or fatigue caused by hormone imbalance
