Overview:

The feasibility of surgery depends on the clinical condition and underlying etiology. Conditions that need a surgical consideration may include pituitary apoplexy, microadenomas with growth hormone (GH) or adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) hypersecretion and debulking macroadenomas with mass symptoms and resistant to medical therapy.
