No, "funktapus" they are accessing the area of the skull that will allow them access to the tumor that they need to remove so they can hopefully save someone’s life.
hi there, got a doubt here: my father went through this pituitary macroadenoma surgery on summer (june or july) and he's doing just fine only with headaches and stuff; and well this december we would like to go and do some diving, but the question is....... is he ready to dive? or is it dangerous?
This is very important and helpful information for people with a possible life threatening tumor on their pituitary. It is my understanding that most of these tumors are benign, however their growth can possibly cause periperal effects on the carodid artery, as this tumor grows.
I was discharged Monday at 4pm, everybody happy, except for the fact that I haven't slept, just snoozed for 4 nights, and probably one more night like this before my mouth stops getting dry and my throat stops hurting; other than that spirits are high, feel different ( better ) new projects ahead and all these thanks to my primary care doctor Tessa Fisher ( who first suspected and detected the tumor ) from St Francis Hospital, Evanston Il. Stephanie A. Joe, my U of I nasal surgeon expert ...
Dr Stephanie Joe prepared the right path to the pituitary gland, so Dr Gerald Le Mole could remove the tumor, this team is amazing and I owe my second chance in life to their professionalism.
By the way UofI hospital's caffeteria does not accept credit cards nor bills larger than 20
Hi enriqueroman, would you mind if I asked a couple of questions about your macroadenoma?
I have been diagnosed with one, were you constantly tired, exhausted after minimal physical work, have problems with sleep, muscle twitching, hard to loose weight?
My neurosurgeon says it's my imagination and I should take anti depressants? I'd appreciate your comments.
Your neurosurgeon is wrong, I was constantly tired, had trouble walking up a flight of stairs, no libido in any way (2 years) poor peripheral vision, constipation, so prior to the diagnose I went to a cardiologist, everything OK, got Colonoscopy, nothing found, two previous doctors simply prescribed medication, until a geriatric doctor found it via Cat scan. I wasn't really affraid of the surgery, rather of the aftermath, but wasn't that bad.......catheter very bothersome, headaches, 2 bad weeks
Glad to hear your surgery went well. Take it easy during recovery and remember to follow up with your MRIs. Dr. Kelly doesnt pack the nose any more, there is really no need. That was an old technique from when they went under the lip. Many surgeons still do it but its not necessary. Dr. Kelly doesnt use an ENT, he does everything, and his patients usually can leave the hospital in two days. Hes a high volume pituitary neurosurgeon-doing about 160 pituitary surgeries a year.
Sorry I meant to write HOURS and MORPHINE. Anyway, it's now Monday very early in the morning and, though sleepy, I'm happy for my neurosurgeon, doctor Le Mole and Team did a terrific job at the University of Illinois Hospital, the nursing team is excellentand so was the food. The post operatory conditions are unfortunatelly quite normal and you must keep a very positive attitude and family/friends support is very important. I will remail at home for 3 weeks until my nose heals. NO FACIAL BRUISES
Ok, my surgery was Thursday, April 30, lasted 5 houres, two stages, the Otolaryngologist cut through the nose and bones, then came the neuro surgeon. I felt nothing, but when I woke up had too much pain, morfine made it worst. Have a baloon inside my nasal cavity that will be removed on May 4th, couldn't breath, mouth got so dried I was afraid I might suffocate, lost of needles for: blood tests, antibiotics, etc. The catheter was painfull during and when removed, it hurt to pee for 3 days.......
@Roma9532 There is not one doctor out of residency in the history of the US workforce excluding military that makes 100,000/year. That's bad even for a pediatrician.
@Roma9532 You have to look at how the numbers are reported. This website is more informative about physician's salaries because it excludes residents. For example, it reports a radiologist average salary of about 420,000/yr. However, if you go to another website, you might find it reported that they make only 230,000/yr on average because residents are included. The website is salary dot com preceded by www1. Type in pediatrician or whatever you wish to search.
@MrCreightonian I'm about to start community-college afterward heading to university ..so what advice do you have for a guy like me who is thinking between pediatrician or surgeon as a future .............
& what other advices do you have for residents students....''JUST GIVE ME ADVICES''
That's what I'm gonna be going through on April 30 2009. They told me it's a 4 hour procedure, 7 days recuperating at the hospital, and from 3 to 6 weeks at home. Possible risks from the surgery are: Blindness, stroke, death, loss of sensitivity in the face, etc. My surgeon is Dr Le Mole, from the University of Illinois, when I met him he spoke with a lot of aplomb and self assurance, and told me he does this [ pituitary ] surgery at least a couple of times per week.
I'm from Chile. Last year I was operated on a pituitary macroadenoma. It was the same procedure that's shown in this video. It was a long surgery. The first month, after the operation, I lost the sense of smell and taste. Now, I'm getting well little by little, it's been a long process but I'm really good now! So, don't be afraid, everything's gonna be all right. Wish you good luck.
My neuro surgeon also advised me from doing hard work ( anything that demands phisical strain ) and since I'm an electrician he sugested I work on a different field for at least six months. I was told it's because the pituitary gland will be weak and will not produce enough amounts of hormones needed by muscles to work normally and therefore even before my surgery ( April 30 8:am ) walking up a flight of stairs gets me very tired ( so I can imagine what it will be like after the surgery ).
The purpose of the video is for those patients affected with a pituitary tumor to understand the surgical procedure. People with this type of tumor are grateful for the most current information when making life altering decisions.
Yes, brain surgery is difficult. That is why with pituitary surgery you are best to go to a high volume pituitary center. Not all neurosurgeons are experienced with pituitary tumors and the outcome can be much different with someone that is a specialist, doing over a 100 pituitary surgeries a year like Dr. Kelly at the Brain Tumor Center in Santa Monica, California as apposed to someone that only does a few surgeries a year.
F@#@ that not gonna happen they better have a secondary way of doing it!!!!
