How much does it cost to have a pituitary tumor for a Kama Knife surgery?

Don't mind me saying it bluntly: surgery for a brain tumor is the beginning of tragedy.

I tell you realistically: it is possible to take traditional Chinese medicine for brain tumors, if you choose Western medicine surgery or gamma knife and the like, there is no expectation, and there are serious sequelae, such as cerebral palsy, dizziness and tinnitus, vision loss, etc., although there is a very unique method of traditional Chinese medicine for brain tumors, but because I don't know the specific situation, I can't give you a Chinese medicine prescription directly. Remember that traditional Chinese medicine is really the brain tumor, that is because the main brain tumor is the lungs, liver, kidneys and other viscera, and the reason why it is difficult for Western medicine to ** brain tumor is that it cannot be found or removed.

So young, if it is not malignant, do not take a gamma knife ** pituitary tumor, it may work quickly at that time, no anesthesia and other boasted benefits, otherwise you will regret it for a lifetime, if the willpower is not strong enough, it may be painful to commit suicide, it is not alarmist.

Hello friend analyzes the situation according to your description; The best Beijing Tiantan Hospital diagnosis and treatment is the most authoritative, generally in 4,000 to 10,000 yuan, I wish you good health and welcome to consult again

If the diagnosis is clear, Gamma Knife can achieve similar results to craniotomy or transsphenoidal surgery in cases where there is a safe distance from the optic chiasm, and it is safer.

Pituitary tumors** also have hormonal requirements to return to normal, which depends on the condition.

Although the gamma knife is more accurate than general radiotherapy, there is still a chance to damage the surrounding tissues, among which the more serious one is to cause irreversible damage to the pituitary gland, and not all kinds of pituitary tumors are suitable for gamma knife, such as those close to the optic chiasm.

The best way for pituitary tumors is transnasal resection, which does not require craniotomy, with good results and fast recovery. Unless it is particularly large or the location is particularly long, it is not suitable for nasal surgery. Gamma Knife is generally not the first choice for pituitary tumors** unless you are truly unwilling or unable to tolerate surgery.

LZ Your father's pituitary tumor is not large, you can choose to be conservative**. Don't worry, this is not a serious disease, the pituitary tumor is not malignant, if it is small, the drug control can be completely controlled.

But if I want to do it, I think it's better than gamma knife, but it's a little more expensive, and doing it through the nose may cause some taste and smell to fail, but it's safe. The risk factor is very low, so it is recommended to go to a big hospital in Beijing to do it. For example, Tiantan Hospital, which mainly studies neurosurgery, is the best in the country, but there are a lot of people and they suffer a lot.

If you have a lot of money, that's easy. lz you know. It's all running water surgery, and this disease is like having appendicitis, so the landlord really doesn't have to worry!

Surgery is also risky, not high, so don't worry about this. It's just that some sense of smell and taste are not working. In fact, it is very difficult to cut clean, unless there is a craniotomy. But it's not necessary, as long as it's not done for a long time, or it's okay to have another surgery in about 10 years.

Most are not obvious***, provided that the diagnosis is clear.

It is difficult to recover hormones after Gamma Knife**, and the specific situation should be consulted by the hospital.

Generally nothing*** As long as the tumor is no more than 3 cm, the effect of Gamma Knife is better than that of craniotomy.

Condition analysis: Step 1: Install the positioning headframe.

Fixed headframe: The stereotactic coordinate head frame is fixed to the patient's head with adjustable posts and fixing screws (screws). During **, the patient's head is immobilized and placed in the collimator helmet with a head frame, thus providing a reliable basis for determining the coordinates of the target (target tissue).

Each patient's head is different, and the location of the pituitary tumor is also different, so before Gamma Knife**, we need to fix a three-dimensional head frame on the patient's head to provide a reliable basis for accurately locating the location of the pituitary tumor.

The stereotaxic head frame includes a fixation frame and a positioning frame, and the installation process of Gamma Knife ** pituitary tumor is: Preoperative medication: sedation, analgesia, anti-epilepsy, etc.; local disinfection, anesthesia; Installing the stereotaxic headframe; Adaptation of positioning frame and measurement of head shape parameters.

Step 2: MRI scan.

Image scanning acquisition (positioning): After fixing the headframe, the patient wears the headframe and goes to the MRI for scanning, and the patient is scanned in a multi-directional and multi-level detail, and a series of images will be collected and transmitted to the planning system. This is followed by tests that are compatible with the image format used, which can be angiography, CT, MRI, etc.

A series of images are captured and transmitted to the ** planning system: LGP (Leksell Gammaplan). In this way, the position of the target (target tissue) is fixed, and its x, y, and z coordinates are determined, and this process takes about 30 minutes.

Positioning tomography is the first link in the quality control of pituitary tumors in the process of Gamma Knife, and the accuracy of positioning directly affects the results. Attention should be paid to the following points: The adaptation of the positioning frame should be accurate and without deformation; The scanning plane is perpendicular to the upper and lower vertical axis (Z axis) of the positioning frame, and the spacing between the points marked by the positioning frame in the scanning film is different from the actual one.

Pituitary tumor belongs to the indications of Gamma Knife, for microadenoma, due to the difficulty of surgery, it is easy to damage the normal pituitary gland, and can not effectively prevent it, and Gamma Knife can effectively control and kill the tumor with precise positioning, and maximize the protection of pituitary tissue, more and more scholars believe that Gamma Knife can be used as the preferred method for pituitary microadenoma.

Agree with lulu1926!

There is just one point to explain, the so-called gamma knife is to focus the rays from the direction of the stool to the tumor site, generate heat, and destroy the tumor.

The pituitary gland is the vital endocrine gland of the human body, and after the pituitary gland is destroyed, the secretion of some hormones will inevitably be affected, such as posterior pituitary hormone, adrenotropin, etc., and the physiological functions affected by related hormones will be affected.

In fact, pituitary tumors are still uncommon in clinical practice, and patency causes endocrine problems, which can affect vision relatively well, so generally speaking, there is no need to worry too much.

You should take your mother to carefully check the secretion of various hormones, and if it is insufficient, it should be supplemented in time to avoid reducing the quality of life or other postoperative complications, such as low potassium, easy sunburn, dilution of sexual characteristics, etc.

There are a lot of details.
