About

Gencay Hatiboglu is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on refining surgical techniques for prostate cancer, with a particular focus on improving patient outcomes after radical prostatectomy. His major contributions lie in identifying predictive factors for post-surgical continence and advancing the evolution of salvage radical prostatectomy. His most cited work, a 2015 study on predictive factors for immediate continence after radical prostatectomy (44 citations), provides critical insights for patient counseling and surgical planning. Hatiboglu has also demonstrated that elderly men undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy for aggressive prostate cancer can achieve pad-free continence recovery comparable to younger patients (28 citations), challenging age-related assumptions. His research extends to pioneering techniques, including the evolution of salvage radical prostatectomy from open to robotic and Retzius-sparing approaches (15 citations), and a prospective randomized trial on perineal hydrodissection for nerve-sparing robot-assisted prostatectomy. As an advocate for robotic surgery as the new standard of care, Hatiboglu’s work—encompassing over 120 citations—has directly shaped modern urologic oncology, offering patients better functional outcomes and quality of life after prostate cancer treatment.
