Treatment of pituitary cysts at Top Ichilov is conducted using innovative techniques developed based on the latest scientific achievements, such as transsphenoidal endoscopic removal of the cyst using special optical fibers or under the control of a powerful microscope. This operation is very precise, it causes minimal trauma to the body, and ensures that nerve centers will not be affected. Rehabilitation after it lasts less than after an open surgery with craniotomy and is more painless.

Effective treatment of pituitary cysts in Israel using innovative techniques

Research on this disease has shown that conservative treatment of the neoplasm is ineffective. Israeli doctors have long abandoned the classical open surgery method still used in many countries. If the cyst is not accompanied by "aggressive" symptoms that worsen the patient's quality of life, only observation is prescribed. The presence of pronounced symptoms is an indication for surgical intervention. At Top Ichilov, minimally invasive transsphenoidal surgeries are performed using state-of-the-art endoscopic equipment. This method includes the following manipulations:

  • An endoscope is inserted into the nasal cavity, through which the surgeon accesses the tumour;
  • Using special microsurgical techniques, the cyst tissues are removed;
  • The excised cyst is sent for histological analysis to check for malignant cells.

This operation is minimally invasive and is characterized by high effectiveness with minimal risk of infection and complications. The recovery period after this surgical intervention takes just a few days.

We offer our patients the most modern and only correct treatment for pituitary cysts in Israel: feedback on the treatment received will help us improve the level of service and assist new patients in making decisions, so we would be happy to receive it from you in the form of a letter to the clinic's email info@ichilovtop.com
