Endoscopic pituitary surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat pituitary tumors. This technique involves accessing the tumor through the nose with a small camera and instruments, eliminating the need for cuts on the scalp or face. This approach provides a comprehensive 4K view of the tumor and surrounding structures, enhancing precision and safety.

Endoscopic surgery is the preferred method for most pituitary tumors due to its minimally invasive nature and effectiveness. It is considered safe when performed by experienced surgeons and is widely adopted in major neurosurgical centers globally.
