About

Dr. Ahmet Sinan Kabakci is a pioneering urological surgeon whose work centers on the advancement of robotic-assisted flexible ureteroscopy for the treatment of kidney stones. His major contribution lies in the clinical validation and global dissemination of the Avicenna Roboflex system, a dedicated robotic platform for retrograde intrarenal surgery. As a key figure in the early adoption of this technology, Dr. Kabakci co-authored the seminal 2014 paper detailing the robot’s development and initial clinical results (174 citations), establishing the foundation for a new surgical paradigm. His subsequent studies, including a 2017 update (70 citations) and Romania’s first comparative experience (44 citations), demonstrated that robotic ureteroscopy offers superior ergonomics and efficient lithotripsy, even for stones larger than 2 cm. Dr. Kabakci’s work has been instrumental in proving the safety and efficacy of this approach through multicenter phase II trials, helping to shift the standard of care toward minimally invasive, robot-assisted techniques. His research has directly influenced the adoption of robotic flexible ureteroscopy in leading centers worldwide, cementing his reputation as a trailblazer in endourological innovation.
