Pituitary tumors are common intracranial benign tumors with an incidence of 1 per 100,000 and some reports as high as 7 per 100,000. Among intracranial tumors, it is only lower than glioblastosis and meningioma, accounting for 10% of intracranial tumors. According to the size, nature and age of each patient, we have adopted individualized treatment plan for pituitary tumor patients in recent years, using a combination of surgery, medicine, radiation and other measures to treat each patient individually, which has achieved good results.
At present, we mainly adopt the least invasive microsurgery through one side of the nostril to remove the pituitary tumor, so that no incision marks are left on the face. Despite the advantages of transsphenoidal pituitary tumor surgery and the number of units that perform this surgery, many of them have compromised the effectiveness of the treatment due to the high diagnostic and treatment equipment requirements, especially with regard to the operational techniques, so patients should choose a large medical unit with a good reputation for treatment to ensure better health protection.
