About
Dr. Yusuf Kibar is a pioneering pediatric urologist and robotic surgeon whose work has transformed minimally invasive surgical approaches for children and adults. His research centers on robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery, particularly for complex urological conditions such as vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Dr. Kibar’s landmark multi-institutional European study (2023, 30 citations) demonstrated that robotic-assisted laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation (RALUR) is as effective as open surgery for high-grade VUR, offering children faster recovery with fewer complications. He also established the safety and efficacy of robotic simple prostatectomy for BPH (2021, 11 citations), providing an alternative to open surgery for large prostates. Notably, Dr. Kibar performed Turkey’s first pediatric robotic surgery case series (2017, 9 citations) and reported the world’s first robot-assisted repair of a spontaneous appendicovesical fistula (2016, 8 citations). His work has earned over 60 citations, cementing his reputation as a leader in robotic urology. Dr. Kibar’s contributions have expanded surgical options for patients, reduced hospital stays, and set new standards for minimally invasive urological care.
