Authoritative clinical insights, treatment protocols, HoLEP laser surgery, and urologic oncology guides by Prof. Dr. Basri Cakiroglu.
HoLEP is the size-independent, low-bleeding gold standard for enlarged prostate. Here is how the procedure, hospital stay, recovery and travel planning work for patients coming to Istanbul from abroad.
Nerve-sparing daVinci robotic prostatectomy for localised prostate cancer: who benefits, how continence and erectile function are protected, what the hospital stay looks like and how follow-up works when you live abroad.
Which stones pass on their own, which need treatment, and how flexible ureteroscopy with holmium laser (RIRS) removes kidney stones without any incision — with a typical stay of only three days in Istanbul.
Varicocele is the most common correctable cause of male infertility. Learn who benefits from repair, why the microsurgical subinguinal technique is the gold standard, and how a day-case operation fits into a short trip to Istanbul.
A raised PSA is not a cancer diagnosis. Learn what pushes PSA up, how free PSA, PSA density and multiparametric MRI refine the decision, and how MRI-fusion biopsy avoids unnecessary procedures — including how to get an expert review of your results remotely.
Waking at night, a weak stream, difficulty starting — benign prostatic hyperplasia affects most men over 50. What the tests mean, when medication is enough, and how to choose between HoLEP, Rezum and surgery.
Erectile dysfunction is often the earliest warning sign of vascular disease, not merely a sexual problem. What causes it, which tests are worth doing, and how treatment progresses from tablets to shockwave therapy and penile implants.
Leaking when you cough, laugh or cannot reach the toilet in time is not an inevitable part of ageing. How stress and urge incontinence differ, what pelvic floor training achieves, and when a 30-minute sling operation is the answer.
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers diagnosed in men. Early detection is a lifesaver for this silent disease.
Recognized as the gold standard in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) surgery, HoLEP utilizes state-of-the-art Holmium Laser to treat any prostate size with no incision.
The daVinci robotic system enhances surgical accuracy with high-definition 3D imaging and micro-maneuverability, leading to superior oncological outcomes.
