Trans Sphenoidal Operations in India
The most common method for removing pituitary tumors is surgery. The sphenoid sinus, a hollow area in the skull behind the nasal passages and below the brain, is used for transsphenoidal surgery. The pituitary gland is protected by the back wall of the sinus.
Instruments are placed through the nose and sphenoid sinus (a hollow cavity in a bone in the nose) to remove malignancies in or around the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland is a pea-sized gland located above the back of the nose near the base of the brain.
