Abstract
The treatment of pituitary gland tumours, particularly where there is no clinical evidence of supra-sellar extension, rarely involves an open surgical procedure. In these cases, pituitary ablation can be carried out by one of several methods including trans-sphenoidal and transethmoidal hypophysectomy, trans-sphenoidal cryosurgery, trans-sphenoidal yttrium implantation, external irradiation and transfrontal stereotactic yttrium implantation. Irrespective of the method employed, accurate investigation of the pituitary gland is essential, but this is particularly important with stereotactic implantation.
