Transsphenoidal hypophysectomy is a surgical procedure to remove tumors from the pituitary gland, a small gland located at the base of the brain that regulates various hormonal functions. This procedure is often performed to treat pituitary adenomas, which are typically benign tumors but can cause significant health problems due to hormonal imbalances or pressure on surrounding brain structures. Symptoms prompting the surgery may include headaches, vision problems, or endocrine disorders such as Cushing's disease, acromegaly, or prolactinoma, where excess hormone production leads to various systemic effects. The term "transsphenoidal" refers to the surgical approach taken through the sphenoid sinus, a cavity located behind the nasal passages. The surgeon accesses the pituitary gland by making an incision in the nasal cavity or upper lip and carefully navigating through the sphenoid sinus to reach the tumor. This minimally invasive approach avoids the need for craniotomy, resulting in less postoperative pain, a shorter recovery period, and minimal visible scarring. While transsphenoidal hypophysectomy is generally considered safe, there are potential risks and complications. These can include cerebrospinal fluid leaks, infection, bleeding, damage to surrounding brain tissue or nerves, and hormonal imbalances due to damage to the pituitary gland. Patients may experience transient diabetes insipidus, nasal congestion, or loss of smell. Post-surgery, patients require careful monitoring of hormone levels and may need hormone replacement therapy if there is insufficient pituitary function. Regular follow-up with endocrinologists and imaging studies are essential to ensure complete tumor removal and to monitor for any signs of recurrence.
