About

Dr. Ferhat Turgut is a pioneering ophthalmologist and researcher at the forefront of vitreoretinal surgery, with a specialized focus on robotic-assisted surgical techniques and advanced intraoperative imaging. His major contributions center on the clinical application of the Preceyes Surgical System (PSS) for epiretinal membrane (ERM) peeling, where he has systematically evaluated surgical efficiency and surgeon experience. In his landmark 2023 study (15 citations), Dr. Turgut prospectively assessed pre- and intra-operative times and surgeons' subjective perceptions of robot-assisted membrane peeling, establishing foundational benchmarks for this emerging technology. He further refined this work in 2024 by directly comparing surgical times between manual and robot-assisted approaches (5 citations), demonstrating the practical advantages of robotic assistance. Most recently, in 2025 (3 citations), Dr. Turgut pioneered the real-time integration of preoperative Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) thickness maps into live surgical video feeds, creating dynamic overlays that enhance visualization during ERM surgery. This innovative work bridges the gap between diagnostic imaging and surgical execution, promising improved precision and outcomes. With a growing citation impact and a trajectory of translational innovation, Dr. Turgut is establishing himself as a leading voice in the next generation of digitally-enhanced vitreoretinal surgery.
