This book provides a practical guide to the use of the latest applicable surgical procedures and present novel pathways. It details how to utilize a range of techniques including three-dimensional (3D) laparoscopy and those that require robotic assistance. Guidance is also contained on innovative tools including confocal laser endomicroscopy along with the application of biomaterials, artificial intelligence and other exponential technologies, enabling the reader to systematically develop a thorough understanding of these methodologies.
Urologic Surgery in the Digital Era: Next Generation Surgery and Novel Pathways systematically reviews the application of the latest surgical techniques and potential future developments in urology. Therefore, it is a critical resource for all practicing and trainee urological surgeons.

Prof. Emre Huri: He was born in Antioch (Antakya), one of the oldest and historic cities in the world. He graduated from Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine in 2001. Same year, he started urology residency in Ankara Training and Research Hospital at urology clinic. During the residency, he was elected as ESRU (European Society of Resident in Urology) and established the resident organization in Turkey, with the name of Turkey ESRU. He became a urologist in 2005. He became an observer fellow in Vienna University, Department of Urology with scholarship program of European Urology Association. In 2006, he started to work as academic urologist in Ankara Training and Research Hospital. He assumed the title of Associate Professor in 2011. He was assigned as a lecturer within the academic staff in 2013 at the same hospital. He has been assigned as Associate Professor to Hacettepe University, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Urology in 2013 and He is still working at the same university. He started to PhD program at Hacettepe University, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Anatomy in 2008. After passing the competency of doctorate, he assumed the title of MD-PhD. He is the first urologist who completed PhD in anatomy in Turkey. He organized more than 100 cadaveric hands-on training course for 10 years. In the meantime, he made academic studies on technologic developments in the area of surgery of prostate, bladder, pelvic floor and kidney. He was founder president of International Young Urological Association (IYUA). At the period of 2016-2018, he appointed as project coordinator in a European Union Project MedTRain3DModsim which was accepted by Turkish National Agency. He worked as Director of the Hacettepe University, Advanced Health Technologies Training and Research Center between the years of 2014-2017. He is the president of Association of Surgical Anatomy and Technologies, Director of International Continence Society (ICS) Institute School of Modern Technology (since 2018). Huri is an internationally well-known opinion-leader in education with using cadaveric and 3D medical printed/VR and AR models, 3D organ modeling and adaption of technologic developments in the urology curriculum. His recent studies are on the topic of virtual urological surgery models, 3D medical printing, surgical planning with virtual and augmented reality and health technologies. His main sub-specialty is female, functional urologic surgeries, neurourology, surgical anatomy and surgical education.
