Pituitary adenoma Treatment in Town Hospital
About the clinic
Pituitary adenoma care at Town Hospital in Fifth Settlement, New Cairo, Egypt, includes diagnosis, monitoring, medication, surgery, and radiotherapy. Prof. Dr. Osama El Ghannam leads neurosurgery with over 25 years of experience and founded Egypt and Africa’s first specialized neurosurgery center in 2022.
Pituitary adenoma diagnosis with 3-Tesla MRI
On-site 3-Tesla MRI and 128-slice CT are available 24 hours a day. The care team combines neurosurgery, endocrinology, and ophthalmology assessments.
- MRI of the brain and pituitary gland: Shows the tumor’s size and location.
- Hormone blood tests: Help identify the tumor type and its effect on hormone levels.
- Visual field testing: Checks whether the tumor is pressing on the optic nerves.
Treatment options for pituitary adenoma
- Endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery: The surgeon reaches the tumor through the nose, without an external opening in the skull. This minimally invasive method can reduce pain, surgical risk, and recovery time compared with open surgery.
- Medical therapy: A doctor may prescribe medication for functioning adenomas, including prolactin-secreting tumors. The plan is set for each patient.
- Radiotherapy: May be used after surgery or for tumors that are difficult to remove fully.
- Active monitoring: Small tumors without symptoms may be followed with periodic MRI scans, without immediate treatment.
Town Hospital holds ESMO and ASCO accreditations. To explore an assessment plan, patients can leave a request on Bookimed.

Accreditations and Achievements
The hospital holds accreditations from ESMO and ASCO. It is also recognized among Leading Hospitals. Town Hospital was the first facility in Egypt to perform stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) for drug-resistant epilepsy.
Neurosurgery and Neurology
Professor Dr. Osama El Ghannam heads the neurosurgery department. The team uses microsurgical and neuro-navigation techniques for complex brain and spine procedures. Specialists treat various conditions:
- Drug-resistant epilepsy using the SEEG program
- Brain and central nervous system tumors
- Pituitary adenomas via endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery
- Herniated discs and chronic spine pain
- Aneurysm coiling and vascular interventions
The epilepsy program brings together Egyptian and Indian specialists, including Dr. Nitchan and Dr. Ahmed El-Qeai. For facial nerve palsy, the hospital reports an 85% full recovery rate when treatment begins within 72 hours. A dedicated EEG and EMG unit supports neurology services for precise nerve damage assessment.
Cardiology and Vascular Care
The cardiology department covers everything from diagnostic evaluation to long-term follow-up. Physicians manage hypertension, valve disease, and vascular disorders. A Philips bi-plane cath-lab supports coronary and cerebral interventions. Vascular specialists treat varicose veins using endovenous radiofrequency ablation (EVRF) and laser techniques.
Diagnostic Technologies
Town Hospital has an on-site diagnostic center available 24 hours a day. High-resolution imaging supports accurate surgical planning. Key equipment includes:
- 3-Tesla MRI
- 128-slice CT scanner
- Digital X-ray and 4D ultrasound
- 24-hour Holter monitoring and stress ECG
- Electromyography (EMG) and EEG for nerve studies
Operating theaters use capsulated theatre concepts to meet international infection control standards. Digital ID pass controls and restricted entry protocols protect critical overnight service areas.
Services for International Patients
A dedicated team assists patients from Libya, Saudi Arabia, and other regions. Patients can receive a remote medical evaluation via WhatsApp before traveling. This includes a review of medical reports and scans to provide a preliminary treatment plan. Multilingual online appointment booking helps streamline the arrival process.
