The
department of Endocrinology works in close association with
the Neurosurgery units. All patients with sellar, supersellar
and parasellar tumours are referred to the Endocrine Outpatient
clinic. WHile in the ward these patients are periodically reviewed
before and after surgery. They are then followed up in the Endocrine
outpatient clinic.
Patients undergoing radiation therapy after surgery are seen
in the Pituitary clinic. Department of Endocrinology, Diabetes
and Metabolism runs a Pituitary clinic on Monday and Thursday
afternoon. We have a weekly Neuroendocrine conference on fridays
where the treatment plan for these patients is reviewed.
Our research interest has been in the Management of post
operative diabetes insipidus. Evaluation and treatment of
delayed hyponatremia. Long term follow up of patients treated
for functioning and Non functioning pituitary tumours.
