Hypophysectomy
Hypophysectomy is the surgical removal of the hypophysis. It is most commonly performed to treat tumors, especially craniopharyngioma tumors. Sometimes it is used to treat Cushing's syndrome due to pituitary adenoma. It is also applied in neurosciences to understand the functioning of hypophysis. Medications that are given as hormone replacement therapy following a complete hypophysectomy are often glucocorticoids. Addisons can occur and hyperlipidemia will affect all organs in the body.
