Endoscopic Pituitary Surgery
Endoscopic transnasal pituitary surgery is a minimally invasive approach performed by a skilled two-surgeon team, including Dr. Kalyan Bommakanti and ENT specialist Dr. Vyshnavi Bommakanti. This technique avoids cutting through the skull by accessing the pituitary gland through the nose, ensuring a quicker recovery and reduced complications.
Post-Operative Hormone Management
After pituitary surgery, hormone levels may be temporarily affected due to the tumor’s prior pressure on the gland. Essential hormones like cortisol, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and others are closely monitored. Hydrocortisone is crucial for all patients to manage surgical stress, while thyroid replacement is considered if TSH levels are low.
Comprehensive Hormone Monitoring
Post-surgery, the seven key pituitary hormones—GH, TSH, ACTH, FSH, LH, prolactin, and ADH—are evaluated at intervals of 6 to 12 weeks. Dynamic cortisol testing is part of this comprehensive monitoring to ensure optimal recovery and hormone balance.
