Endoscopic Endonasal Craniopharyngioma surgery is performed for the majority of these tumors. This is most ideal when the tumors are behind the optic chiasm (nerves from the eyes). In this video, Dr. Daniel Kelly, director of the Pacific Pituitary Disorders Center at Providence Saint John's Health Center demonstrates the endoscopic surgical removal of a craniopharyngioma while preserving the normal gland and blood vessels. This allows for a better chance of vision preservation as well as pituitary gland function. This patient did well with good pituitary gland function and vision after surgery.
