AI EXPLANATION: Pituitary surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove tumors or abnormal growths from the pituitary gland, located at the base of the brain. A surgeon guides a thin, lighted tube with a camera (an endoscope) through the nose and sinuses to access and carefully extract the tumor without making incisions on the face or opening the skull.
