About
Dr. Mirac Turan is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive robotic techniques for complex oncologic procedures. His major contributions lie in the development and refinement of multi-organ, single-setting robotic surgeries for aggressive genitourinary cancers. Notably, his landmark 2014 paper, "Robotic hat–trick," describes the first reported simultaneous performance of a robotic radical nephroureterectomy, genital tract and paravaginal nerve-sparing radical cystectomy, super-extended lymph node dissection, and intracorporeal Studer pouch reconstruction in a single patient. This case demonstrated the feasibility of combining four major procedures to treat synchronous bladder and ureteral cancers, dramatically reducing recovery time and surgical trauma. While his most-cited work has garnered 6 citations, its true impact lies in its conceptual innovation—proving that radical, multi-compartment cancer surgery can be performed robotically with nerve-sparing precision. Dr. Turan’s achievements have helped expand the boundaries of robotic urology, offering patients with advanced disease a chance at curative resection without the morbidity of traditional open approaches. His work continues to inspire surgeons to push the limits of what is possible in a single operative setting.
