Date:10/18/2007

Most Patients Released From Hospital Within 24-48 Hours

TYLER, Texas, Oct. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- A 32-year-old east Texas man is the first brain tumor patient in the region to benefit from a unique surgical procedure that removes pituitary tumors without making incisions in the skin. Sabatino Bianco, MD, a Trinity Clinic neurosurgeon and the Director of the Trinity Mother Frances Neuroscience Institute, is the first and only neurosurgeon in the region to offer patients an endoscopic transsphenoidal hypophysectomy (ETH). The procedure allows the removal of pituitary tumors through the nasal cavity.

The procedure eliminates the need for incisions and removal of nasal septum and/or nasal turbinates because the patient's nasal cavity is used to access the pituitary tumor. The pituitary gland is a small, cherry-shaped double structure located near the back of the nasal pathways and attached by a stalk to the base of the brain. It is the gland that affects and controls all hormonal functions in the body.
