Transsphenoidal surgery
Transphenoidal surgery is when an approach is taken to reach a lesion through the sphenoid sinus. This type of surgery is usually done endoscopically through the nose or with microscopes from under the lip. It is most often performed by a team of an otolaryngologist and neurosurgeon to remove tumors in the pituitary area and skullbase.
