Overview

  • The feasibility of surgery depends on the clinical condition and underlying etiology. Following conditions need a surgical consideration:

Pituitary apoplexy Microadenomas with GH or ACTH hypersecretion Debulking macroadenomas with mass symptoms and resistant to medical therapy

  • A study showed that non-functioning pituitary adenomas may be prevented from recurrence by gross-total resection and/or adjuvant radiotherapy.[1]
  • Literature review has shown better outcomes with endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery when compared to microscopic technique in gross tumor removal as it lowers the risk of CSF leak, septal perforation, infection, hematoma, hypopituitarism, recurrence, and overall mortality. [2][3][4]

Surgery

  • Surgical intervention is not recommended for the management of [disease name].

OR

  • Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with [disease name]. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either [indication 1], [indication 2], and [indication 3]
  • The mainstay of treatment for [disease name] is medical therapy. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either [indication 1], [indication 2], and/or [indication 3].
  • The feasibility of surgery depends on the stage of [malignancy] at diagnosis.

OR

  • Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for [disease or malignancy].
