Urology is one of the medical branches where robotic surgery is most commonly applied. Especially in the treatment of diseases such as prostate cancer, kidney tumors and bladder cancer, respected centers in America and Europe prefer the da Vinci® Robotic Surgery System.
Technological advantages offered by the da Vinci® system:
3D high definition (HD) imaging
Tissue and tumor visualization at 10–20 times magnification
7-degree-of-freedom robotic arms that mimic natural hand movements
Microsurgical precision that reduces tremor to zero
Advantage of clear vision and minimal bleeding in deep tissues
Less pain and faster recovery with minimal incision
Da Vinci® Robotic Surgery
Welcome to Istanbul Robotic Urology and Oncology Center.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tuncay TAÅž
Assoc. Prof. Dr. TaÅŸ, one of the experienced surgeons of Istanbul Robotic Urology and Oncology Center, is an associate professor of urology specializing in robotic and laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of prostate, kidney and bladder cancers and postoperative penis shortening, urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction (Penile Prosthesis). He graduated from Istanbul University Istanbul Faculty of Medicine in 2004 and completed his urology residency in 2010.
After receiving training at the "Laparoscopy, Robotics and Oncology Center" of Heildelberg University, Germany, Heilbronn SLK Hospital in 2006 and 2007, he continues to serve his patients in Türkiye, primarily in the fields of cancer and men's health.
Prof. Dr. Ahmet Tefekli
Prof. Dr. Ahmet Tefekli, a senior surgeon at Istanbul Robotic Urology and Oncology Center, is a professor of urology who specializes in robotic and laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of prostate, kidney and bladder cancers.
He graduated from Istanbul University Istanbul Faculty of Medicine in 1996 and completed his urology specialization at the same faculty in 2002.
He served as an observer at centers such as the Albert Einstein College of Medicine (1998) and the Cleveland Clinic (2005) in the USA, and received laparoscopic surgery training at the Heidelberg University SLK-Kliniken in 2006, becoming "one of the first formally trained urologists" in this field in Türkiye.
About the da Vinci Robot
The da Vinci® Robotic Surgical System allows surgeons to perform surgery through a few small incisions. It consists of three basic units: the "Console" where the surgeon performs the surgery and controls the robot, the "daVinci Robot Arms" inside the patient, and the "Tower" where the camera system and light source are located.

Da Vinci 5: Our most advanced and integrated multi-port platform
Designed to deliver better outcomes, increased efficiency and actionable insights, the da Vinci 5 features more than 150 design innovations and 10,000 times the processing power of the da Vinci Xi.1 These advancements support enhanced surgical senses, greater surgeon autonomy, smoother OR workflows and advanced data analytics to enable the future of surgery.
" Surgical instruments-Endowrist instruments "
* The instruments are designed with seven angles of motion. This means a much greater range of motion than the human wrist.
* Like every surgical instrument, it is designed for a specific task such as clamping, cutting, coagulating, dissecting, suturing and tissue manipulation.
"Surgeon Control & Console"
The console viewer's 3D image allows surgeons to see anatomical structures in high resolution and natural color with up to 10x magnification.
