Craniopharyngioma Surgery

Craniopharyngioma surgery is a medical procedure to remove a non-cancerous tumor located near the brain, specifically where the pituitary gland is situated. These tumors can cause headaches, vision problems, and hormonal imbalances. Surgery aims to reduce symptoms by excising the tumor, and it can be performed through different methods, often via the skull base or through the nasal passages. The goal is to safely remove as much of the tumor as possible while minimizing damage to surrounding brain tissue and important structures, thus helping to restore normal function and improve the patient’s quality of life.
