Surgery for Pituitary Tumors
Our Approach to Pituitary Tumor Surgery
The pituitary gland is located at the base of the brand. Tumors here are commonly noncancerous and slow growing.
The Stanford Brain and Spine Tumor Program is known around the world for leading advances in the surgical treatment of pituitary tumors -- particularly with endoscopic procedures that access the tumors by way of the nose and do not require an external incision.
What We Offer You for Pituitary Tumor Surgery
- Globally-recognized leadership in minimally-invasive surgical techniques to remove pituitary tumors
- Team-based treatment planning that draws on the collective expertise from neurosurgery, radiation oncology, neuroradiology, neuropathology, neurotology, otolaryngology, audiology, and supportive therapies to collaborate on your needs.
- Access to advanced technologies for imaging and image-guided biopsy including 3D images of your precise anatomy and your tumor.
- An active clinical research program dedicated to broadening your options for diagnosis and treatment
- Mid-surgery monitoring using the latest microscopes and real-time monitoring of the brain and nerves during surgery to avoid the cranial nerves that control facial sensation and movement.
- Comprehensive support services like occupational or physical rehabilitation, nutritional and emotional support to help you with your specific symptoms and the challenges of this experience.
- Assistance from our International Medical Services team to plan your travel and accommodations.
- Individualized treatment plans based on close consultation with your doctor.
