Frequently Asked Questions
Is a pituitary adenoma cancer?
No. The overwhelming majority of pituitary adenomas are benign (non-cancerous) and do not spread to other parts of the body.
Is pituitary surgery done through the nose?
Yes, in most cases. The tumour is removed endoscopically through the nostril, with no incision on the head and no skull cut.
Is pituitary surgery painful?
The nasal route avoids a head wound, so most patients have mild discomfort and nasal blockage rather than severe pain, controlled with simple medication.
How long is recovery after pituitary surgery?
Most patients go home within a few days and return to light activity within about two weeks; the nose settles over one to two weeks.
Will I need lifelong hormone tablets?
Many patients need none. A minority require temporary or long-term hormone support, which is checked carefully after surgery.
Why operate as a neurosurgeon and ENT team?
The ENT surgeon manages the nasal passage while the neurosurgeon removes the tumour – a combined approach that makes the nasal route safer and more precise.
