About
Dr. Yakup Kordan is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of robotic-assisted surgery for prostate and kidney cancers. His primary research areas encompass the comparative effectiveness of robotic versus open surgical techniques, the integration of advanced imaging for surgical navigation, and the management of complex urologic conditions. Dr. Kordan’s landmark 2010 study, cited over 140 times, provided crucial early evidence that robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy offers comparable short-term biochemical recurrence-free survival to the traditional radical retropubic prostatectomy, helping to validate the robotic approach. His subsequent work, with over 70 citations, demonstrated that robotic surgery significantly reduces transfusion requirements. Beyond prostate cancer, Dr. Kordan has pioneered innovative applications, including same-session robot-assisted management of rare conditions like Zinner’s syndrome and the use of virtual reality tumor navigation by fusing multiparametric MRI and PSMA PET/CT images to guide radical prostatectomy. His systematic review on robotic simple prostatectomy has become a key reference for treating large prostate glands. Through these contributions, Dr. Kordan has not only shaped clinical guidelines but also expanded the boundaries of what is possible in minimally invasive urologic oncology.
