== == hypophysectomy will stop growth and lactation in females, and destroy the testes, ovaries and adrenal coretex since the hormones produced in the pituitary gland affect all those organs. since homeostasis will be severely altered, the salt and water concentration as well as the carbohydrate and protein metabolism will be disturbed.

What is the effect of an hypophysectomy on the metabolism?
Hypophysectomy, the surgical removal of the pituitary gland, can lead to hormonal imbalances affecting the regulation of metabolism. This can result in metabolic disturbances such as difficulty in maintaining blood sugar levels, alterations in energy expenditure, and disruptions in nutrient absorption and utilization. Treatment with hormone replacement therapy is often required to manage these metabolic effects.
Under what circumstances would a doctor choose to perform a hypophysectomy on a patient?
Hypophysectomy, the removal of the pituitary gland, is most commonly done in the case of tumors. It may also be done on a patient who is suffering from Cushing's Disease.

Surgically removing the pituitary gland through the nasal cavity, going through the sphenoid bone/sinuses of the skull.
What is hypophysectomy's major risk?
A special risk associated with surgery on the pituitary is the risk of destroying the entire gland and leaving the entire endocrine system without regulation.
What is an alternative to hypophysectomy?
Radiotherapy is another possible treatment. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors.
