Dr. Sercan Yilmaz is a urologist at Liv Hospital Ulus in Istanbul. He specializes in laser prostate surgeries and robotic-assisted procedures for urological cancers. The specialist is a member of the American Urological Association and the European Society of Urology.

Specialization and Surgical Focus

Dr. Yilmaz uses minimally invasive techniques for complex cases. He performs HoLEP and ThuFLEP laser surgeries for benign prostatic hyperplasia. These methods offer faster recovery and less bleeding than traditional surgery. The doctor also uses robotic and laparoscopic technology for oncological and reconstructive cases.

His surgical practice includes:

• Robotic da Vinci prostatectomy
• Graft urethroplasty for urethral stenosis
• Transperineal prostate MRI/Ultrasound fusion biopsy
• Varicocelectomy and vasectomy
• Ureteral stenting and cystitis management

Academic Research and Innovation

The doctor contributes to urological science through research projects funded by TÜBİTAK. He studied the effects of mitomycin-c on Peyronie’s disease using rat models. Dr. Yilmaz also investigated intradetrusor decorin injections for treating partial bladder outlet obstruction. These studies aim to improve tissue histopathology outcomes for patients.
