Dr. Omar Y. Elbasatiny — bariatric, laparoscopic and cancer surgeon in New Cairo

Surgical focus and philosophy

Dr. Omar Y. Elbasatiny is a surgeon based at Aspects Clinica in the Fifth Settlement, New Cairo. His practice covers four areas: bariatric (weight-loss) surgery, laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery, surgery for cancers of the digestive tract, breast and thyroid, and general surgery including anorectal conditions such as piles, fissures and fistulas.

Wherever it is safe, operations are performed through small keyhole incisions rather than one long cut, because smaller wounds usually mean less pain and a quicker return to normal life. When an open operation is the safer choice for a particular patient, that is explained before surgery, not after.

Alongside his medical degree (MBBCh), Dr. Elbasatiny holds an MBA, which shapes how the practice is run: appointments that start on time, plans written in plain language, a quote you can read line by line, and one surgeon who stays with you from the first consultation through to recovery.

Every consultation starts with a diagnosis, not a sales pitch. You will hear what the findings mean, what the options are (including non-surgical ones and doing nothing for now), what each option realistically involves, and what recovery looks like for someone with your work and family life. Surgery is recommended only when it is genuinely the right next step.

The articles and procedure guides on this site are written or reviewed by Dr. Elbasatiny, cite their sources, and are updated when guidance changes. They are general education and never replace an examination; the editorial guidelines page explains how each page is written and checked.

Patients from outside Cairo and from abroad can start with a WhatsApp message or a phone call, share previous reports and scans, and plan a consultation around their travel dates.
