Research and Clinical Trials
As part of Torrance Memorial’s affiliation with Cedars-Sinai, you
will have access to a full range of Cedars-Sinai clinical trials for pituitary
disease. Cedars-Sinai conducts more pituitary disease clinical studies
that almost any other facility in the United States, which means that
Torrance Memorial patients have the opportunity to receive the most-promising
therapies years before they are available to the public.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
At Torrance Memorial Medical Center, our neurosurgeons use the latest minimally
invasive surgical techniques whenever possible to treat pituitary tumors.
Our neurosurgeons use advanced technology — including endoscopic,
microscopic, and image-guided surgical techniques — that allow for
the precise removal of your tumor with minimal damage to surrounding structures
and tissue.Minimally invasive pituitary surgery promotes faster recovery,
results in less scarring, and reduces the risk of complications.
