Minimally Invasive Brain Surgery: Endoscopic Endonasal Approach | UPMC 

4 years ago moreless my hormones are going up & down. first they took blood testing MRI and found pituitary tumor. 4 years later still have it every neurosurgeon I go to send me to another neurosurgeon I found only one that says he's wanted to operate but all he does is send me to CT scans three times a year to watch it. I feel like he's trying to give me cancer I have no one. I have family and friends but none of them look for me or care. Even had a divorce cuz of it. It's a messed up world but it's mostly about money and most people are selfish. You'll be lucky to find someone with empathy for you. I finally found a doctor that said he can do radiosurgery. I'm just trying to find out if radiation is worse than operation? and maybe also make some friends people if they are dealing with the same. My blessings to you all suffering with the same.

What happens to the pituitary gland during and after surgery. How does the surgent distinguish between the pituitary gland and the tumor tissue during surgery?

I am patient of accromegaly i want this treatement how it possible and my IGF 1 horomone leval is 8.50

my greatest respect to doctors

Not exactly... Its actually gnarly they have to break through bone and you're knocked out its very close to your optic nerve. Really scared of doing this if i was the surgeon or patient.

I have one sought that....is pituitary present both sides of brain or middle of brain?

excelente

Got it all.

I went through this.. i am fine and healthy

This is very informative.

Had this operation done back in mid 2000s. Had a germ cell tumor on my pituitary stalk

I had this done in February of 2013. It was done at UC Davis.

Interesting

Recovery time?

I couldn't see how the micro-scissor got there and cut off the sheath of the tumor. All others are clear and wonderful, although the cleanness of the surgical procedure looks too ideal

i have visited for the past 7 years in many drs and few especialist not to forget a the last was a psychiatrist office .All i had was a pitutary tumour all along but never got a straight answer instead they told me i was depress or somer other answer. well iam 30 now and my pitutary tumour has grown and i suffer alot hradches everyday other day and always nauseas that i barely eat because i just want to vomit or other days i dont have no appetite at all. iam looking for a good hospital with Drs who would be able to help me through and start treatment or what ever thats newd to be done. I just dont want to be spending another 7 years waiting for answers i rather search things now and do myself.

Scary .

Sounds like the voice in the Infos headset from the French film Fantastic Planet 😂

Where and when can I make an appointment for this? I have a small tumor pituitary.

I'm gonna have nightmares for a week

I went to the upmc website and I for the love of god cannot find the definition of endonasal! My girlfriend is in first responder class and I'm trying to help her with one of her take home assignments. Does anyone know the definition of endonasal?! Please answer if you know.

Firstly if you can afford to go private go private.. In ireland i went public and its midnite on day 2 after the op and im in a room with 7 other patients and iv had zero sleep with all the snoaring and people in and out. You need calmness after a big op not craziness.you will spend the first week sleeping sitting as your nose will be congested. I will write a detailed report if anybody needs help

Ok, I am ready to perform this surgery now!

the good doctor brought me here :V

is this safety operation?

When u f replace ment

Please I need help. I have a brain tumour that can't be operated on here in my home country due to the location of the tumor and lack of equipment. I was advised to seek medical treatment outside the country, my family sent my medical records to different hospital around the world and we got a cost estimate of the surgery. It turns out that my family cannot afford it, I have been living with the tumor since then 2years now. It now affecting my eyesight please someone should help..I don't need any money sent to my account. Put to the hospital and invite me. Please

im accutaly having this surgery monday lol im excited

This is magnificently clever, but I cannot forgive the fact that this procedure isn't called "Extreme nose-picking" Also, there are totally incisions to heal... They drill through your dang skull at the end of your nasal passage 😬

So the Egyptians were right

TUMORS SUCK

It would suck to sneeze during this kind of medical treatment. Be funny though.
