A member asked:
Does a surgeon break your nose during endonasal approach surgery for a pituitary cyst?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pituitary cyst: This is endo-nasal surgery and a scope is usually used. Breaking the nasal septum is not part of the procedure. Going through the nose is the shortest distance to the pituitary.
