Cost of Surgery for Benign Pituitary Tumors

The cost of surgery for benign pituitary tumor is about 20,000-30,000 RMB, and the cost incurred mainly includes the anesthesia cost and the operation cost, as well as the related materials used during the operation. For pituitary tumors after surgery, it is necessary to strictly observe the patient’s urine output, state of consciousness and the presence of seizures. Postoperative antibiotics are needed to prevent infection, hormones are used to make the body have enough endogenous hormone production, and electrolyte changes need to be monitored at least twice a day, and any abnormalities found should be corrected promptly. If visual acuity and visual field changes occur after surgery, brain CT is needed immediately to exclude hematoma. In case of transnasal pituitary tumor resection, it is usually removed 3-6 days after surgery. Whether through the transnasal approach or craniotomy, it is necessary to pay attention to the occurrence of cerebral effusion nasal leakage. Postoperatively, endocrine hormone levels are reviewed to assess the effectiveness of the surgery.
