Surgery is usually the main treatment for people with pituitary tumors. The most common surgery used to remove pituitary tumors is called trans-sphenoidal hypophysectomy. In this surgery, the surgeon will make a small cut behind the upper lip and create a hole through one of the bones of the nasal passage in order to reach the pituitary gland. The gland is then removed. In this kind of surgery, no other part of the brain is touched and there is no scar that anyone can see. It is common for microadenomas and soft, larger tumors to be removed this way. If a tumor is very large, or if it has spread to nerves in the area or other parts of the brain, this surgery may not be possible.

Researchers are always finding new treatments for pituitary tumors and improving current treatments. Pituitary tumors are almost never fatal.
