The surgery

For the type of tumor I have, it is the TRANSSPHENOIDAL Surgery that is recommended, The approach is through the sphenoid sinus, one of the air spaces in the nose. The opening is really small so it is aided by high powered operating microscope. The operating microscope allows binocular vision with extremely high quality optics. Surgery can take up to 3 hours. After, I was told me to be in the ICU room for 2 days but I was bored already on my first day and was showing good signs. They released me from the hospital 2 days after.


Taken after the surgery. I looked terrible here. I looked like I just had a nose job.
