Most often, the tumor is removed through the nasal cavity. Rarely, if the tumor is large or has spread to nearby brain tissue, the surgeon will access the tumor through an opening in the skull.
* In this method, the [[pituitary tumor]] is excised through [[nostrils]] by means of a tiny fiber-optic [[endoscopic]] tube.
The results of surgery depend a great deal on [[tumor]] size and prolactin levels as well as the skill and experience of the neurosurgeon. The higher the prolactin level before surgery, the lower the chance of normalizing serum prolactin.  Serum is the portion of the blood used in measuring prolactin levels. In the best medical centers, surgery corrects prolactin levels in about 80 percent of patients with small tumors and a serum prolactin less than 200 nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml). A surgical cure for large tumors is lower, at 30 to 40 percent.  Even in patients with large tumors that cannot be completely removed, drug therapy may be able to return serum prolactin to the normal range-20 ng/ml or less-after surgery.  Depending on the size of the tumor and how much of it is removed, studies show that 20 to 50 percent will recur, usually within 5 years<ref>http://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/health-topics/endocrine/prolactinoma/Pages/fact-sheet.aspx</ref>.

* After that, the [[dura mater]] is passed and the lesion becomes visible.

** No harm to other parts of the [[brain]]

* Although the preferred procedure to excise the [[pituitary tumors]] is a trans-sphenoidal approach, but in some cases (1-4%) the size of the tumor or any [[suprasellar]] adhesion may require trans-cranial method.
Rarely, radiation therapy is used if medical therapy and surgery fail to reduce prolactin levels.  Depending on the size and location of the tumor, radiation is delivered in low doses over the course of 5 to 6 weeks or in a single high dose. Radiation therapy is effective about 30 percent of the time.

** Isolation by a narrow waist at the [[diaphragma sellae]]

* [[Skull]] base surgical procedure is also the option for [[pituitary tumor]] treatment but may encounter the problems that transsphenoidal method is faced with.

** Long duration of post-operation recovery
** Damage to other parts of the [[brain]]

Overview

Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with prolactinoma. Surgery is usually reserved for patients in whom medical therapy fails to reduce the size of the tumor.

Surgery

Indications

Medical therapy should be continued even if it is partially successful, possibly combined with surgery or radiation. Surgery is indicated in patients if medical therapy:[1][2][3]

Endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery[4]

  • In this method, the pituitary tumor is excised through nostrils by means of a tiny fiber-optic endoscopic tube.
  • First, bilateral nasal septal mucosa is incised in a C-shaped manner. The septal bone is approached through this incision.
  • Then, sphenoidal rostrum and anterior wall of sphenoid sinus are gradually removed, a bone window is opened through the skull space.
  • After that, the dura mater is passed and the lesion becomes visible.
  • Finally, the tumor is removed using curette and basket with suction.
  • Advantages:
    • No harm to other parts of the brain
    • High cure rate
    • No visible scar
  • Disadvantages:

Craniotomy[5]

  • Although the preferred procedure to excise the pituitary tumors is a trans-sphenoidal approach, but in some cases (1-4%) the size of the tumor or any suprasellar adhesion may require trans-cranial method.
  • Situations requiring transcranial method include:
  • Skull base surgical procedure is also the option for pituitary tumor treatment but may encounter the problems that transsphenoidal method is faced with.
  • Advantages:
    • Resection of large tumors
    • Ability to excise the tumors with suprasellar specific conditions
  • Disadvantages:
    • Long duration of post-operation recovery
    • Damage to other parts of the brain
