NEW!Video: Transnasal Pituitary Surgery
Removal of a pituitary tumor using only an endoscope through the nostril. The video also demonstrates several newly developed techniques and surgical tools. This surgery is very gentle for the patients and the hospital stay will be shortened drastically.

Webcast: NIH, Friday, October 29, 2004 Pituitary tumors are not
rare and occur in nearly 20% of adults, worldwide. Although clinically
significant, many of these tumors go undiagnosed for years. The abnormal
hormone production caused by these tumors has severe and debilitating
effects on growth, reproductive and sexual function, and neuroimmune
function. Therefore, the purpose of this symposium is to increase
awareness and scientific understanding of the all-encompassing nature of
pituitary disorders in order to increase earlier diagnosis, disseminate
knowledge of state of the art treatments, and pique interest in novel
scientific study of the pathophysiology of these disorders and their
many ramifications.
