My Special Interests and Experiences

Urethral Strictures: The Urology Clinic at Ankara Training and Research Hospital, where I worked for 21 years, is recognized as a center of excellence in Turkey for urethral strictures. During this time, I performed numerous urethral stricture surgeries including end-to-end anastomosis, pull-through (Badenov),and pedicled flap procedures. I continued these surgeries at Ahi Evran University Training and Research Hospital, where grafting tissue taken from inside the mouth onto the urinary tract has become a significant part of my surgical practice.

Urooncology: I have extensive experience in urooncology, having performed over 500 radical prostatectomies for localized prostate cancer, more than 100 cystectomies with ileal loop continent diversion for muscle-invasive bladder cancer, and over 200 radical nephrectomies and nephroureterectomies for kidney tumors. Additionally, I have carried out around 1,000 transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) procedures for superficial bladder tumors using endoscopic methods.

Infertility Treatments: At the City Hospital IVF Center (now closed),where I worked for 10 years, I evaluated and treated a large number of infertile patients, performing various sperm retrieval operations such as TESE, Micro-TESE, and PESA.

I also have extensive experience in kidney and urinary tract stone surgeries, as well as in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
