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
