It is, in fact one of the biggest breakthroughs in medical history as The Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh has been performing more than 2,000 surgeries to take out the pituitary tumour using a minimally invasive endoscopic operation and has been doing so without the usage of an open cut. It is an advanced procedure which is done through the nose and enables the surgeons to access the brain without inflicting any external wound on the patient thus cutting much recovery time, pain, and complications. This procedure has now been standard practice in the institute as far as PGI doctors are concerned mainly because of its effectiveness and safety.
The key medical news concentrates on the determination of PGI to employ the latest technology in neurosurgery and to choose a milestone in the field of health innovations. Members of the Neurosurgery Department noted that the procedure is less invasive than the traditional one but guarantees a shorter discharge and a reduced amount of postoperative complications. The excision of 2,000 pituitary tumours through this procedure is a major move in the way complicated surgeries of the brain are carried out in India.
