Pituitary Tumour Surgery Hyderabad
Transnasal Endoscopic Pituitary Adenoma Surgery
Dr. Kalyan Bommakanti (Neurosurgeon) & Dr. Vyshnavi Bommakanti (ENT) — Apollo Hospitals, Secunderabad
Apollo Hospitals Secunderabad offers transnasal endoscopic pituitary surgery — a technique that removes pituitary tumours entirely through the nose, with no external cuts, no craniotomy, and no visible scar. This procedure is performed jointly by Dr. Kalyan Bommakanti (Neurosurgeon) and Dr. Vyshnavi Bommakanti (ENT & Skull Base Surgeon).
What Is a Pituitary Adenoma?
A pituitary adenoma is a benign (non-cancerous) tumour of the pituitary gland at the base of the brain. Symptoms include headaches, vision problems (due to pressure on the optic nerve), hormonal disturbances (acromegaly, Cushing’s disease, prolactinoma), and infertility.
The Transnasal Approach
- No incision on the face or skull
- Endoscope and instruments are passed through one nostril
- Tumour is removed directly at its source
- Most patients go home in 2–3 days
- Hormonal recovery begins quickly after successful removal
Why a Joint Team?
Pituitary surgery sits at the exact boundary between ENT (nasal corridor, sphenoid sinus) and neurosurgery (pituitary fossa, cavernous sinus, optic chiasm). Having both specialists simultaneously — rather than one surgeon working alone — improves safety, reduces operating time, and ensures better tumour removal rates.
