Yes, the pituitary gland can be removed. You would have to take replacement hormones to make up for the loss of hormones the pituitary gland would make though. The pituitary is made up of two parts: anterior and posterior. The anterior consists of these hormones: growth hormones, thyroid stimulating hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone, prolactin, luteinizing hormone, and follicle stimulating hormone. The posterior consists of antidiuretic hormone and oxytocin.
