About
Dr. Turgut Bora Cengiz is a pioneering colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive robotic techniques for cancer surgery. His work has been instrumental in comparing robotic systems—most notably demonstrating the perioperative advantages of the da Vinci Xi over the Si platform in rectal cancer surgery, a study that has garnered 47 citations and helped guide surgical decision-making. Dr. Cengiz is a leading advocate for robotic complete mesocolic excision (CME) in right-sided colon cancer, where he has refined techniques for high vascular ligation and intracorporeal anastomosis. He has also pioneered the use of near-infrared fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green to identify mesenteric lymph nodes during robotic CME, enhancing oncologic precision. His research extends to cost-conscious robotic restorative proctectomy, showing that robotic approaches can achieve economic and oncologic outcomes comparable to open surgery. Through video vignettes and implementation studies, Dr. Cengiz has actively disseminated novel robotic techniques, including TAPP repair of incarcerated femoral hernias. With a growing body of work that bridges technical innovation and clinical practicality, Dr. Cengiz is shaping the future of robotic colorectal surgery.
