About
Bahriye Aktas is a gynecologic oncologist whose research has made significant contributions to the field of radical uterine cancer surgery, with a particular focus on compartment-based oncologic techniques and minimally invasive robotic approaches. Her work centers on translating embryologically derived surgical principles — most notably the total mesometrial resection (TMMR) and peritoneal mesometrial resection (PMMR) frameworks pioneered by M. Höckel — into robotically assisted procedures, helping to standardize radical hysterectomy for both cervical and endometrial cancers. A defining thread across Aktas's most-cited work is her pioneering use of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging to visualize lymphatic compartments intraoperatively, enhancing surgical precision and oncologic radicality while minimizing complications (38 citations). Her series of foundational papers defining compartment-based radical surgery attracted 24–33 citations each, establishing a reproducible framework widely referenced in gynecologic oncology. She has also critically examined the broader implications of robot-assisted hysterectomy and addressed nerve-sparing strategies to reduce postoperative autonomic dysfunction. Together, her contributions bridge anatomical embryology, surgical innovation, and practical oncologic outcomes, offering students and researchers a rigorous model for locoregional tumor control in uterine cancer.
