At Pacific Neuroscience Institute and the Pacific Pituitary Disorders Center, the concept of "safety first" is paramount when removing pituitary adenomas and related tumors. The pituitary gland is the body's master hormone control center, so pituitary tumors can lead to a wide range of hormonal imbalances. In addition, large tumors may press on nearby brain structures, causing symptoms such as vision problems. While most symptomatic pituitary adenomas are benign and non-cancerous, they often require surgical removal as the first-line treatment. Our experts are leaders in minimally-invasive endoscopic endonasal surgery using the natural passages of the nose to reach the pituitary gland. Dr. Daniel Kelly explains.
