About

Dr. Ege Akgun is a pioneering surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive adrenal surgery, with a particular focus on comparing laparoscopic and robotic techniques. His major contributions lie in rigorously evaluating the perioperative outcomes of these two approaches, directly addressing the critical question of whether robotic adrenalectomy offers tangible advantages over the standard laparoscopic method. Dr. Akgun’s work is foundational in this debate, highlighted by his landmark 2025 publication, a randomized clinical trial that provides the highest level of evidence for surgical decision-making. This study, along with his earlier 2023 comparative analysis on lateral transabdominal adrenalectomy, has garnered significant attention, accumulating over a dozen citations in a short period. By systematically analyzing outcomes like operative time, blood loss, and complications, Dr. Akgun is helping to define the true role of robotics in adrenal surgery, guiding both current practice and future innovation. His research is essential reading for any surgeon or student seeking to understand the evidence behind the choice between laparoscopic and robotic approaches, making him a key voice in the evolution of endocrine surgery.
