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.

I stayed with my husband after a quick surgery and we were impressed by the warm and professionally quick reception service; we finished in 15 min.
The staff were very friendly and helpful.
The room and bathroom were very clean.
The nurses were friendly, smiling and quiet in a professional way, they knew what to do.
My husband was very relaxed and calm because of the surrounding crew throughout our stay, even in the surgery room all was calm and peaceful.
I only had one suggestion of having lether couches in the room instead of fabric and they already told me that they are in the process of a replacement.
HR Mr. Ekramy was very friendly , took my comments seriously and made us feel welcomed and calm.
Thank you all, for the super services during our stay.

I recently had a very positive experience with a hospital in Cairo, Egypt while my brother underwent a hip replacement surgery. As a Canadian resident, it was my first time dealing with a hospital in Egypt, and I must say that I was thoroughly impressed with the level of care and professionalism I received.
Firstly, the hospital itself was immaculately clean, which gave me a sense of comfort and ease knowing that my brother was in a safe and hygienic environment. The staff and security personnel were extremely friendly, polite, and helpful throughout our stay. They went above and beyond to ensure that my brother and I were comfortable and well-informed about the entire process.
The hospital rooms were also impressive. They were new, clean, and equipped with great amenities that made our stay more comfortable. The nurses were very friendly and active, ensuring that my brother was well taken care of throughout his recovery.
One thing that stood out to me was how professional and polite the security personnel were. They reminded us of the ending visit time and kindly asked us to leave the hospital premises, ensuring that everything was in order without being intrusive.
Overall, despite the difficult circumstances surrounding my brother's surgery, my experience with the hospital was amazing. I would like to thank the staff for their exceptional care and dedication to their patients. Keep up the excellent work, and I would highly recommend this hospital to anyone in need of medical attention in Cairo, Egypt

The worst hospital I have ever seen. Total scammers!
Because we are foreigners, they took advantage of us and charged us for 3 days of hospitalization (my son only had bronchiolitis) — 57,000 EGP!!!
When I refused and argued for 2 hours, they suddenly “reduced” the bill to “only” 40,000. What a joke.
The service was terrible. The doctor was never there. The nurses treated my wife like a prisoner — they even refused to let her leave the room with our son because they were afraid she might leave, even though all our belongings were still there.
To all foreigners: never come here!
May Allah be able to close this hospital of crooks
