Transnasal Endoscopic Transsphenoidal Pituitary Adenomectomy
For prolactinomas, transnasal surgery may be considered if drug therapy (dopamine agonists) is ineffective or not tolerated, or if the tumor compresses the optic pathway or causes complications such as hemorrhage and necrosis. The decision is based on a comprehensive assessment of tumor size and loc

How Transnasal Endoscopic Transsphenoidal Pituitary Adenomectomy is performed
This procedure usually involves a transnasal, transsphenoidal approach, with lesion localization aided by endoscopy and neuronavigation. Grafts may be selected for sella floor reconstruction if necessary. The tumor is typically separated and removed in pieces. After hemostasis, the integrity of the sella floor is assessed, and packing or drainage is placed as appropriate. Postoperative monitoring includes electrolytes, urine output, and signs of cerebrospinal fluid leakage, as well as reassessment of prolactin and visual function. The goal is to reduce mass effect and preserve pituitary function as much as possible. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
