Excerpt from Brain Works 2013, a free community event from Washington University and Barnes-Jewish Hospital. Register for our next brain innovation event at: bjhne.ws/xi
In this portion of the Brain Works presentation, neurosurgeons Dr. Eric Leuthardt and Dr. Albert Kim talk about removing pituitary gland tumors. To remove this type of tumor, neurosurgeons use an endoscope, which is like a long, thin HD video camera. The endoscope allows neurosurgeons to do things that otherwise could never have been done in the past.
Dr. Kim explains, step by step, how neurosurgeons remove pituitary tumors, which are located in the middle of the brain, by accessing them through the nose.
