About
Burak Zeybek is a gynecologic surgeon whose research has profoundly shaped the landscape of minimally invasive and robotic-assisted gynecological surgery. His work centers on robotic surgical techniques, operative learning curves, and surgical education, with a particular focus on optimizing outcomes for patients undergoing hysterectomy and complex gynecologic procedures. Zeybek's most influential contribution, his 2014 standardization of single-site robotic total hysterectomy (47 citations), established reproducible benchmarks that have guided surgeons worldwide. His investigations into learning curves — examining both robotic hysterectomy broadly and the technically demanding skill of intracorporeal cuff suturing specifically — have provided critical data for surgical training programs. Notably, his 2012 study (34 citations) demonstrated how prior laparoscopic experience meaningfully accelerates residents' robotic suturing proficiency, directly informing residency curricula. Beyond technique, Zeybek tackled the real-world economics of robotic surgery, identifying strategies to reduce non-operative room time and lower costs — a practical contribution increasingly relevant in resource-conscious healthcare environments. His pioneering work on robot-assisted abdominal cerclage during pregnancy further extended robotic surgery's reach into high-stakes obstetric scenarios. Collectively, his portfolio reflects a surgeon-scientist committed to advancing both the safety and accessibility of robotic gynecologic care.
