About

Ahmet Cem Dural is a distinguished Turkish surgical researcher specializing in minimally invasive and robotic endocrine surgery, with particular expertise in adrenal and thyroid procedures. His work has significantly advanced the understanding and adoption of robotic adrenalectomy, contributing foundational clinical evidence through high-volume center studies that evaluate safety, feasibility, and surgical outcomes. Among his most impactful contributions is a 2016 study on intraoperative workload during robotic surgery using wearable motion-tracking sensors — a methodologically innovative work that has garnered 117 citations, underscoring its broad relevance to surgical ergonomics and human factors research. His 2015 feasibility study on indocyanine green fluorescence imaging for intraoperative tumor localization during robotic adrenalectomy (57 citations) further demonstrates his commitment to pushing technological boundaries in the operating room. Dural has also explored emerging techniques such as transoral robotic thyroidectomy, reflecting his dedication to scar-minimizing innovations. His comparative analyses of the DaVinci Si and Xi platforms offer practical guidance for institutions adopting robotic systems. Collectively, his body of work positions him as a key contributor to the evolution of robotic and laparoscopic endocrine surgery on both national and international stages.
