About

Dr. Alexandru Turcan is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher at the forefront of robotic surgery innovation, with a primary focus on artificial intelligence applications in urology and single-port (SP) robotic-assisted procedures. His most impactful contribution is the development of the Bleeding Artificial Intelligence Detector (BLAIR) System for robotic radical prostatectomy (25 citations), a groundbreaking convolutional neural network-based tool designed to predict and detect intraoperative bleeding in real-time—a significant advancement in surgical safety. Dr. Turcan has also made substantial contributions to the field of SP robotic surgery, authoring a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis on its role in reconstructive urology (8 citations) and validating nephrometry scoring systems like PADUA, RENAL, and SPARE for SP partial nephrectomies. His work extends to surgical planning, where he has explored 3D virtual models with perfusion volumes to optimize robotic partial nephrectomy outcomes. Additionally, his risk-adjusted CUSUM analysis of the learning curve for SP simple prostatectomy provides critical insights for surgical training and patient selection. With a rapidly growing citation impact and a portfolio that bridges AI, surgical planning, and minimally invasive techniques, Dr. Turcan is shaping the future of precision urologic surgery.
