Profile Summary

I am a Specialist in Urology with over 6 years of clinical and surgical training at Mersin University Hospital, Turkey. I have performed over 1,900 documented surgical procedures — more than 300 as primary surgeon — including 1,400+ endoscopic procedures (TUR-B, TUR-P, URS, ESWL, prostate biopsy, DJ stent placement) and 475+ open surgeries (nephroureterectomy, radical prostatectomy, pyeloplasty, open stone surgery). I completed a visiting residency in Urooncology at Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg, Germany (04–05/2023), focusing on robot-assisted and focal therapy procedures. I have authored 18+ international peer-reviewed publications (h-index: 3, citations: 24 since 2021) in journals including World Journal of Urology, BMC Urology, The Prostate, and International Journal of Impotence Research. My research focuses on urological oncology, endourology, andrology, and the application of artificial intelligence in clinical urology. I contributed to the Turkish translation of the EAU 2025 Pediatric Urology guideline and am a member of the Turkish Society of Urology, the European Association of Urology (EAU), and the Global Andrology Forum (GAF). I am available for medical writing, clinical research consulting, systematic review support, and AI-assisted urological research projects.
