Additional Information for Hypophyseal Forceps
Hypophyseal forceps are a type of surgical instrument used in neurosurgery. They are specifically designed for the delicate manipulation and removal of the pituitary gland, which is located at the base of the brain. The pituitary gland, also known as the hypophysis, plays a crucial role in regulating various bodily functions through the release of hormones.
Hypophyseal forceps are typically long, slender instruments with a curved or angled tip. The tip is designed to fit around the pituitary gland and provide a secure grip for manipulation. The forceps are usually made of stainless steel or other durable materials to ensure their strength and longevity.
During surgery, hypophyseal forceps are used to carefully dissect and remove the pituitary gland, often in cases of tumors or other abnormalities. The surgeon uses the forceps to grasp and manipulate the gland, allowing for precise and controlled removal.
Overall, hypophyseal forceps are essential tools in neurosurgery, specifically for procedures involving the pituitary gland. They enable surgeons to perform delicate and intricate maneuvers with precision, ensuring the best possible outcomes for patients.
