About
Sertac Fatih Aksoy is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher at the forefront of integrating advanced imaging and virtual reality into robotic surgery. His key research areas include prostate cancer diagnostics, three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of multiparametric MRI and PSMA PET/CT images, and the application of virtual reality (VR) for surgical navigation. Aksoy’s major contributions center on developing tumor-navigated robotic radical prostatectomy, where he uses 3D reconstructed images to guide the Da Vinci surgical system in real time. His most cited work (2020, 12 citations) demonstrates how combining 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT with MRI allows surgeons to precisely visualize and excise prostate tumors, potentially improving oncologic outcomes and reducing complications. In a related study (2019, 3 citations), he explored displaying these 3D reconstructions on VR headsets or the Da Vinci TilePro, enabling immersive intraoperative guidance. Aksoy’s innovative approach bridges radiology and surgery, offering a practical tool that enhances precision in robotic prostatectomy. His work is notable for its translational impact, directly improving surgical planning and execution for prostate cancer patients.
