Diagnostics and pituitary imaging
Accurate imaging is the first step in managing a pituitary tumor. The clinic uses high-resolution imaging to determine the size and location of the adenoma. Patients receive a detailed report to guide their treatment plan.

- Endocrinology management. Specialists evaluate hormone levels to manage pituitary disorders.
- Second opinion service. Patients can request a review of their diagnosis by the clinic's expert panel.
Surgical and medical treatment options
The neurosurgery department focuses on removing brain tumors while protecting healthy tissue. Assoc. Prof. Priv.Doz. Georg Widhalm leads surgical interventions for these cases. He was recognized among Stanford's World's Best Doctors in 2024 and specializes in intraoperative imaging. This technology helps the surgeon see the tumor in real-time during the procedure.
- Neurosurgery for brain tumors. This surgical treatment uses microsurgery techniques and intraoperative imaging for high precision.
- Endocrinology consultation. Dr. Niederle provides specialized care for the hormonal imbalances caused by pituitary adenomas.
- Minimally invasive surgery. The clinic uses modern techniques to reduce recovery time and physical trauma.

Wiener Privatklinik (WPK): more details about the clinic
Austria, Vienna
The Wiener Privatklinik (WPK) is a private hospital in the university quarter of Vienna, Austria, next to the Vienna General Hospital and the Medical University of Vienna. Founded in 1871 and led since 1995 by a group of physicians, it works with more than 300 recognised doctors across over 30 specialities, and around 45 percent of its patients come from more than 20 countries. The clinic has 145 beds, seven wards and its own operating theatres, combining hospital medicine with a hotel standard of care.
Central European Cancer Center
Oncology is the clinic's central focus. The WPK Academy Central European Cancer Center brings together surgeons, oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists and pathologists, and every case is discussed by an interdisciplinary tumour board before treatment begins. Care covers the full path from diagnosis to therapy, using:
- Minimally invasive and robotic surgery
- Radiotherapy
- Immunotherapy and chemotherapy
- Heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for tumours in the abdomen
The centre is especially strong in cancers of the:
- Breast, prostate and urinary tract
- Skin
- Lung
- Digestive organs
- Head and neck
- Gynaecological organs
- Bone and soft tissue
It is led by Prof. Christoph Zielinski, and its team includes cancer surgeons such as the thoracic surgeon Prof. Walter Klepetko.
Diagnosis and Early Detection
Diagnostics are gathered under one roof, so results are available quickly and without repeated appointments. Imaging includes MRI, CT, PET-CT and SPECT-CT, alongside endoscopy and molecular analysis. The clinic also offers liquid biopsy, a blood test that can detect signs of a tumour at an early stage.
Surgery and Other Specialities
Beyond oncology, the WPK covers:
- General and abdominal surgery
- Orthopaedics and traumatology
- Sports medicine
- Urology

The Wiener Privatklinik is certified to ISO 9001:2015 by Quality Austria for its quality management, patient care and safety. It has been named one of the World's Best Hospitals by Newsweek and Statista for six years running, from 2021 to 2026, and was recognised by Deloitte as one of Austria's Best Managed Companies in 2025.
