The treatment may be medical by taking medicine to slow the pituitary gland down or may be more involved with surgical or radiation treatment.[chw.org]
If nonsurgical treatment fails, or if the risks of nonoperative treatment exceed the risks of surgery, then surgery options are considered. Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion involves an incision in the front of the neck.[spine.org]
Once you have arthritis which has not responded to conservative treatment, you may well be a candidate for total hip replacement surgery.[scottfaucettmd.com]
For surgery, treatment of diabetes, cardiac failure, and hypertension are required. Intubation, posturing, and IV access difficulties may arise. Steroid supplementation postop is essential and 300 mg Hydrocortisone per day is adequate.[anaesthesia.med.usyd.edu.au]

Prognosis The prognosis for most patients with hypopituitarism is excellent. As long as therapy is continued, many experience normal life spans.[medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
Outlook If hormone replacement therapy is adequate, the prognosis is good. Complications are often related to the underlying disease. For More Information Visit the Pituitary Network Association web site.[webmd.com]
While effective treatment of the underlying hormone deficiencies may improve these risks, it is often necessary to treat them directly. [6] Prognosis [ edit ] Several studies have shown that hypopituitarism is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular[en.wikipedia.org]

Furthermore, headaches are common in the general population and there is no guarantee that surgery will alleviate the headaches and all patients with hyperplasia because the headaches might be due to some other pathophysiological mechanism.[pituitaryworldnews.org]

Prevention There is no known prevention of hypopituitarism, except for prevention of damage to the pituitary/hypothalamic area from injury. Key terms Adenoma — A benign (not threatening or cancerous) tumor that originates in a gland.[medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
