Endoscopic surgery in pituitary tumors and other skull base tumors
Endoscopic surgery for pituitary tumors and other tumors of the skull base is a minimally invasive technique that uses an endoscope (a thin tube with a camera at the end) to access the base of the skull through the nostrils. This technique allows for the precise and safe removal of tumors, such as pituitary adenomas, avoiding large incisions and scars.
