2024 Endocrinology Grand Rounds | Rethinking the Limits of Surgery for Invasive Pituitary Adenomas

Duarte, CA US
September 11, 2024

Pituitary adenomas are a common endocrine issue, and it is vital that clinicians have the knowledge and tools to discuss with patients, what surgical techniques are available to treat their disease, if and when appropriate. Patients deserve to know the most up to date and innovative surgical techniques in order to minimize complications. As such, there is a need for a tight collaboration between endocrinology and surgical teams, which will result in improvement in patient care outcomes and quality of care delivered. 

Surgical fields are always advancing and we depend on our surgical colleagues to keep us updated on best, innovative techniques, in order to improve patient care. It is imperative to stay abreast of the advances in surgical techniques for pituitary neuroendocrine tumors. This will also help to appropriately refer to neurosurgery and what to monitor for pre and post operatively.

Target Audience

Faculty and Staff of department of Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify the proper time and urgency to refer patients to neurosurgery for invasive pituitary tumors.
  • Educate patients on innovative surgical techniques when pituitary adenomas require surgical resection.
  • Outline potential post-operative complications after surgery of pituitary neuroendocrine tumors. 
  • Discuss possible barriers and biases which may impact patient care (i.e., race, ethnicity, language, gender identity/orientation, age, socioeconomic status, attitudes, feelings, or other characteristics).
