    • Avian endocrinology

    Background:

    • The pituitary gland is crucial for avian development and physiology.
    • Accurate surgical access to the avian pituitary is challenging.
    • Existing hypophysectomy methods can be invasive and complex.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a modified oral approach for avian hypophysectomy.
    • To enhance the localization and in situ visualization of the pituitary gland.
    • To provide a simplified and less traumatic surgical procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • A modified oral surgical approach was developed for immature birds.
    • Simplified instrumentation was utilized, with readily available or constructible materials.
    • The technique focused on improved organ localization and visualization.
