Pituitary Tumor Resection
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 май 2017
- The pituitary gland is located at the bottom of your brain and above the inside of your nose. Endoscopic pituitary surgery (also called transsphenoidal endoscopic surgery) is a minimally invasive surgery performed through the nose and sphenoid sinus to remove pituitary tumors.

"The brain is the most important organ in the body."
Sounds like something a brain would say.
Or a brain surgeon
its easier to say what the least important organ is than the most important. without bones we would be floppy piles of flesh, without a brain we wouldnt be able to move, without a liver our systems would be flooded with toxins, etc. meanwhile the pancreas just sits there till it explodes
@@FiSH-iSH well to be fair the bones aren’t an organ
😂
Of course, because its not just an organ itself, its you, youre the brain.
I found out last week that I have one of these tumors and need surgery soon. I was terrified at first but videos and explanations like this make me feel so much better about going through it.
I was also very nervous and anxious. After getting rid of 2 Dr's God blessed me with Dr Carson my Neuro-Surgeon.
Just had the surgery July 13, 2023 and was discharged July 18th. Now I'm @ home trying to heal and recover fully.
You can do this 🙏🙏Best wishes to you❤
@@addicted3796OMGGGGGGGGG! I needed to hear ur Story. My daughter will have this surgery in December 2023. Thanks sooo much for the Share🙏🏻😇😇. BLESSINGS ALWAYS ❤
So, are you well now?
Literally, just had this procedure done on Thurs (2 days ago) already home and feeling fantastic!!!
Bethany Mills if i may ask, how long did the doctors provide medical leave?
Why did u have to have this, they are telling me I might have get this due to my thyriod cancer
My dr won’t do it how do I get a dr to do it
Thank you for this comment
@@FD-ip2hx I was only working part time anyway and was lucky enough to have understanding employers so I didn't really use any leave
Had the exact procedure done 6 weeks ago here in Australia by some of the best! To anyone who will be going for this operation I hope you have a safe surgery and quick recovery!
Pretty must sure I’ll get mine after the MRI just wait to see the results and I hope not.
@@mitrandhir69 Dr.s where going to put me on medication to shrink it. After blood tests they said it'll have to be removed surgically. Honestly it was better that way. Look on the bright side at least you'll get nose job! Not exactly but I had a lot of airway issues with my nose so that got sorted. Still healing but nearly 3 months on I feel good. If your going for surgery best of luck, stay positive and you'll be fine.
@@mitrandhir69 same, I just did the MRI and still waiting for the results
@@claudia2846 get my results back find nothing clean at all
Hi, wondering if I need to look for Private neurosurgeon, don't have an app til Mar 2022 - public waitlist is long.
My dad suffered with this tumor in 2007. He got a surgery and recovered well. The only problem is that he looks a lot older than others. I am still grateful for doctors for saving him.
How?
After I was diagnosed of pituitary gland tumor, have been confronted with 3differents fear. d fear of how painful will d surgery be, also d fear of how successfully will it be and most of all d fear of how will I source for d huge amount of money needed for this operation . May Almighty Allah be my source of strength ,before is too late!

I got what you were trying to say, but rather than “d” I think you meant “the.”

Had this procedure done and spent 3 days in ICU and another 3 on the Neuro floor. Came home a few days ago....11/18/21
I have to get this thing out of my head 😩 have to go through this procedure again. Losing my eyesight 😥
Oh no, so sorry to hear that! How are you doing?
I had my brain surgery in November , 01, 2022 @ Helen Joseph Hospital, South Africa. It was a success 🙌🙌🙌
The pituitary tumor removed and the MRI scan confirmed
The doctors did me well . Am forever grateful
When you fall asleep first at the sleep over (Rookie mistake)
Gets your brain tumor removed for free, yeah, that was totally a mistake
Veeeeery funny. Yeah. I am totally laughing right now.
Dang that’s free service. I get a free brain tumor removal and I didn’t even know I had a brain tumor
I thought I was the only person on this damn planet until I saw this comment! hilarious
The best hospital in the world and the best Dr Florian.
Had this surgery 36 yrs ago
Wow that's prehistoric!
Dr's went in under my top
lip and I guess through my
nasal area. The tumor was
benign YAY!! What they didn't
tell me beforehand was that
the area in my mouth under
the upper lip would be numb
for life. I'm sure that doesn't
happen anymore. Oh, I almost
forgot the part about what the
symptoms were....the WORST
headaches you could ever
imagine!! I wish the best to
those having pituitary surgery.
You're gonna be alright ❤️
They used to remove the skull ear to ear. I had it done through the nose 3 years ago but its back. So more treatment needed
@@mikewatt8706 Wowwwww. What happened and why did it return?
Thanks for the Share. My daughter will have this surgery in December 2023. Will she experience numbness in her mouth for life?
@@daphnesmith1686
I just posted more in regards
to Pituitary surgery. I didn't
realize that I could have
posted directly to you.
@@daphnesmith1686 they didn't remove it all first time but i had more surgery 3 months ago and they said they were very happy this time but i have a scan in November and we will know then
Such a complex procedure. These doctors are living gods!
they are heroes
this actually increases my confidence in surgeons, no longer am i in fear that ill die in surgery, nah, instead im actually considering having surgery for my galbladder.
This is absolutely amazing! God bless the brilliant scientists and doctors that brought this technology to life and the many patients who have been/will be treated with it.
I had the Transsphenoidal surgery for a pituitary tumor in 1979 at Mass General in Boston, Massachusetts, by Dr. Nicholas Zervas, Head Neurosurgeon at that time. The tumor was the size of a large orange. Had been quite ill for many years with migraine headaches and never started a period until I was 29 years old, 10 years later. I went on to have two successful pregnancies after that and didn't go into menopause until I was 53 years old. Directly after the surgery, I developed Diabetes Insipidus and used the DDAVP nasal spray to keep from becoming dehydrated. I was also given Bromocriptine for some time after surgery to disperse of any residual tumor left in that area. I would be happy to speak with anyone here if they have any questions.
Yay, now I understand recessus sphenoethmoidalis better, animation is neat!
I have pitutary gland tumor 2.3cm iwill next move on surgery and i will next meet nurosugery op pray for me❤😊
I had this done at SHANDS UF hospital in Gainesville Florida 2005. No recurrence so far...
tonygreene113 how painful is it afterwards???
I need your help Kindly contact me on +919110095310
This is intrasphenoidal approach ,its minimally invasive ,great 👍🏻
Thank you for this, very interesting
I’m AFAB 26 years old and never been pregnant. I’m in a relationship with another AFAB Individual and when I started lactating I was confused and scared. I couldn’t be pregnant but the ER told me that I might have a pituitary tumor; as I don’t have regular periods, bad headaches and lactation it fit.
I will call the OB GYN tomorrow and schedule because the ER doctor said that’s the best course of action.
lactating nipple could be a sign of breast cancner/tumor/adenoma as well, maybe get that checked first
What was your outcome? x
I have cyst in my pituary gland
Same procedure done 9-22-22 Released next day. Currently taking thyroid pill and testosterone injections to supplement what my pituitary gland can not produce. My surgery was at Abbott Northwestern in Minneapolis MN. I had wonderful doctors and nurses.
Congratulations. My tumor is 2.5cm I'll know if it's cancerous next Monday. 🙏
That's crazy I found out I had this tumor on 9-22-22 it was 2.2 cm and after my second mri I got last week its 3cm so they are going to operate soon

Why are these 3d animated tumor removals so satisfying to me?
I had this done a year ago. Surgery went well. The worst is the the packing in the nasal cavity and headache. Of course they gave me good pain medicine. I definitely can see a difference in my eyesight
What does the packing feel like? I’ve not talked surgery yet, waiting on an appointment, but just wNting to prep for anything
What size was your tumor?
@@erinjoan2070 Can’t really feel the packing. Nose is stuffed up, couldn’t breathe through my nose for like a week. Couldn’t bend over my nose would bleed. Actually my dr told me not to. Can’t blow your nose for couple weeks. Had a 2 week follow up with my eye ear nose dr. He washed some of the blood out. Which helped a little. He allowed me to blow my nose gently. About 2 weeks later the packing came out. I could breathe. Full recovery took 5/6 weeks
@@gregdailey5617 Thanks so much Greg
I had the op 18 months ago.
I'm 50 years old.
Didn't have packing in nose but severe pain on days 4 and 5. Eyes back to normal.
But they said they left a bit behind so mite ave to go back
when I grow up I wanna do general surgery I dont have a sensitive stomach I watched a live surgery video when I was sick of leg amputation I didn't feel like throwing up
I had this procedure done in 2008. Dr. Ian McCutcheon in Houston, Texas.
How are you doing now?
What material did they use to repatch your skull?
Ive had 6 of these surgeries
My client had this in 1995 at glendale memorial hospital was a sack but was only there one day and not monitored at present she was diagnosed with sleep apnea had a stroke and MRI and CAT scan show fibroid mass and possible reoccurrence of cyst Doctor does not want to acknowledge Kaiser Permanente
Amazing technique, though rough 🙂
What is used to reconstruct the skull, anyone ?
interesting. Seems very common problem.
I'm scared the doctors want to get or remove my tumour but wouldn't a MRI see everything 😑
That's amazing
I think it’s a little bit more involved than what this video leads on.
Does it improve symptoms or cure them ?
im so overwhelmed. i just got my mri results back and i have prolactinoma. we’re looking into the next steps now, but it’s too much for me. im just a kid. im only 16. it’s scary as hell.
It's okay to be scared. Don't worry. It is treatable and you will get through it.
same with me here...:(
Me also suffering this prolactinoma..I'm going to have my Mri
how are you
I've heard that, for Prolcatinoma, it is mostly curable thru medication only and surgical intervention isn't needed if detected early. either way do have hope and stay strong. all will be fine..
Medicine is amazing
Which medicine is better?

Is this surgery available in Bangladesh
That is a very mild version of what really happens. The week after the op is where the pain happens.
What happens ? Would you please explain it to me ?
@@recklessdrivinginsingapore it depends person to person i had pain level ten on week one and two
@@mikewatte4478 Thank you very much Sir. I was diagnosed with a pituitary cyst just a few months ago. The doctors deemed it too small to operate on (< 5mm) - so they're telling me to keep on coming back for MRIs and observe it and see how it goes.
@@recklessdrivinginsingapore are you man r woman. The smaller ones can cause most problems with hormones and the big one cruse surrounding structures. Mine was causing blindness
@@mikewatte4478 I'm a dude. I exhibited symptoms of a very, very bad headache (which was how the cyst was discovered). But, my neurologist denied that the cyst was causing it, as he said it was "not pressing against anything". I had no other findings in my MRI scans, and my headaches were so painful that I sometimes lose grip of things that I am holding in my hands...
MRI shows I have a 1.2x1.4x1.9 tumor on Pituitary Gland, confirmed acromegaly. Have a consultation visit with neurosurgeon in 6 days...
my daughter has a brain tumor in pituitary and on feb 14 2022 the seizure attack her twice and i bring her in the hosp. can you give me more ideas or can you help me what to do.
Had this surgery 2 years ago for a golf ball size tumor. My nose felt like it was on fire after surgery.
U are alive though and thats the most important thing
Sounds big. S. Didn't know that there is that much space
I unfortunately suffered a Stroke 11 months after my surgery because a bacteria corridor had been created from my nose to my brain.
And how are things with you now

Hi ni T9
I had this surgery done 2 years ago but I am feeling pulsation on the left side and also clicking. Does anyone have any idea as to what it might be ?
I have a cyst why won’t my dr do it

Where is that at ?
Tell me wat to do.. Sir..
My brother is going through this. He's recovering, but he's been saying some weird thing that never happened before. One was if mom gonna be running across the football field again? I became worried after this, wondering if he's gonna be like this forever. Has anyone else had a loved one say random things like this?
I did when I had this procedure done in February but I am back to normal now, it’s just a matter of taking the time to recover and keeping an eye on any odd symptoms. If things seem to be getting worse contact your brother’s health team. I hope everything goes well for him.xx

I found last year that i have brain injury do i need surgery soon
I love science
I have a large pituitary lesion, and the doctors are telling me that surgeons are going to pick my nose in order to pick my pituitary gland. I once asked a Police Officer if I could pick his brains about law, and he said "as long as you don't pick my nose". Who would have ever imagined that in order to pick at someone's brain, you would have the option to pick one's nose? Welcome to 2023 and the miracle of short cuts and neurological GPS technology!
Yknow i just had an MRI scan done Monday to check if i have a tumor on my Pituitary Gland, and im not being referred to a hospital and being told to schedule an appointment in the surgical department- im only 15 turning 16 and its genuinely really scary to just even think about surgery when it’s something that’s scared me my entire life as a child. i know it’s a safe procedure and all that but I’ve got some really bad anxiety and i tend to overthink a lot- im really hoping for the best since my moms starting to worry that this wasn’t a simple case of me overproducing hormones that could be fixed with meds but a tumor that needs a surgery to fix :/
Interesting bro, I had a MRI done about a month ago (I’m 13) and they found out I had a Pituitary gland tumor, (I was showing symptoms of a extremely rare condition called Gigantism, 3 in a million people have it. Not to be confused with acromegaly) but anyway, I do have gigantism (to prove it I am 6’6) and I’m getting the tumor removed at MD Anderson in less than 13 hours. Gotta stay in the hospital for 3-4 days. Also the normal GH level for a 13 year old is between 1-5. My base is at 38
@@juantwothree321 I truly hope you're ok, I'm 30 years old. They found the tumor in my pituitary gland about 2 years ago and it's barely getting resolved they want to put me on medications before they want to remove it. I'll be praying for you. Even at my age, I gotta say I'm kinda scared of it.
@@johnnycash4969 I’ll be praying for you, go get checked at MD Anderson, they truly are the absolute best in the country. The neurosurgeon that’s doing my surgery has done thousands of pituitary surgery tumor removals

So you arrive at hospital one day b4 surgery.
Doctors chat about your op and do tests to make sure you are fit and well.
Go to theatre and have op lasting 3 to 5 hours.
Wake up and you will feel no pain. You will have a pee bag attached to ur bladder.
You will be given lots of drips to keep you hydrated.
Nurses will monitor your urine production for 2 r 3 days
You will gain weight but that's because of the drips.
The weight will drop back after a few weeks.
When you get sent home have the strongest pain meds to hand cuz ull need them for a few weeks
O
Please tell which doctor is better for surgery?
ENT doctor: good for nose recovery ?
neurosurgeon: good for pituitary recovery/follow-up?
Or follow up by endocrine doctor? ( I have Cushing's disease); thanks!

Idk but for safety don't drink any drug or hit your brain for a year or more
Does the procedure change the way your nose looks? Will you look the same as you did before the surgery?
It is very swollen at the beginning but after a few weeks it settles down. Trust me if you need the surgery or have already had it done it's well worth whatever happens to your nose. But in truth the Dr's that specialise in these procedures are extremely good at what they do.
In my experience , u will not even know after few days that u had surgery.
