A member asked:
Can you tell me about pituitary adenomas and how long the recovery time is after surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Every person is: different and this all depends on the size of the adenoma and how your surgeon approaches this. I have had some patients undergo a minimally invasive procedure and recovered fast. Be aware, there are still risk and it is still major surgery.
