About
Dr. Serkan Deveci is a prominent urological researcher whose work centers on patient expectations and quality-of-life outcomes following prostate cancer surgery, with a particular focus on sexual function recovery. His landmark 2015 study, "A survey of patient expectations regarding sexual function following radical prostatectomy," which has garnered 37 citations, fundamentally challenged conventional clinical assumptions by systematically documenting the disconnect between patient hopes and surgical realities. This work revealed that many men undergoing radical prostatectomy harbor unrealistic expectations about their postoperative sexual function, often underestimating the extent and duration of recovery challenges. Dr. Deveci's research has been instrumental in reshaping preoperative counseling protocols, emphasizing the critical need for transparent, data-driven discussions that align patient expectations with evidence-based outcomes. His contributions bridge the gap between surgical technical success and patient-centered care, highlighting that functional recovery involves not just physical healing but also psychological preparedness. By bringing these discrepancies to light, Dr. Deveci has helped urologists develop more effective communication strategies, ultimately improving patient satisfaction and shared decision-making in prostate cancer treatment.
