Robotic surgery is the pinnacle of technological advancements in modern urology. It allows the surgeon to perform complex procedures through a specialized console providing 3D, high-definition visualization magnified up to 15 times. The robotic instruments negate natural hand tremors and provide 540-degree range of motion inside tight spaces.

- Bladder Cancer (Cystectomy & Neobladder)
- Ureteral Strictures (Pyeloplasty)
Advanced Treatments & Surgical Techniques
- Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy
- Robotic Partial Nephrectomy (Sparing the kidney tissue)

- Robotic Reconstruction of the Urinary Tract
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is robotic surgery available for international patients in Istanbul?
- Yes. Prof. Dr. Çakıroğlu performs daVinci robotic prostatectomy, partial nephrectomy and cystectomy at Hisar Intercontinental Hospital in Istanbul. International patients typically stay 5-7 days in Istanbul; consultation, surgery and the first follow-up are completed within that visit.
- How long is the hospital stay after robotic surgery?
- Most robotic urologic procedures require 1-2 nights in hospital. Patients walk the same evening, pain is usually controlled with simple analgesics, and desk work can resume within 2-3 weeks.
- Does the robot operate on its own?
- No. The surgeon controls every movement from a console; the system filters hand tremor and scales motion. 3D magnified vision and wristed instruments allow more precise nerve-sparing and suturing in the narrow pelvis.
- Can I send my reports before travelling?
- Yes. MRI, biopsy, PSA and other reports can be sent via WhatsApp or e-mail for a preliminary review, so that the treatment plan and length of stay are clear before you book flights.
