Endoscopic Transsphenoidal Surgery Treatment in India

Rohan Verma, a 42-year-old software engineer and father of two, had been struggling for over a year with debilitating fatigue, severe headaches, and a gradual loss of peripheral vision. An avid runner, he found himself unable to complete his usual routes. His libido had vanished, causing strain in his marriage. After his optometrist noticed unusual swelling in his optic nerves, an MRI revealed a 2.5 cm pituitary macroadenoma pressing on his optic chiasm. His neurosurgeon, Dr. Kapoor, recommended endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery to remove the tumor, explaining it was the least invasive way to relieve pressure on his vision and potentially restore his hormonal function. Rohan was terrified of brain surgery but clung to the hope of seeing clearly and playing with his kids again. The surgery lasted four hours. He woke up with a stuffy nose and mild headache, but no head shave or visible scar. The most immediate change was that the crushing headaches were gone. Within days, his peripheral vision began to improve. Follow-up tests showed the tumor was fully resected. Six months later, Rohan's energy is returning, and his hormone levels are normalizing with medication. The emotional relief is profound; he describes the surgery as having 'lifted a fog' from his life, allowing him to be fully present for his family again.
