He continues successfully performing kidney stone treatments such as Percutaneous Nephrolithotripsy (PNL) and Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS), which are still being used today.
He has more than 1000 cases of surgical experience in kidney stone procedures.
In 2004, Prof. Dr. Erdogru also received training under the direction Prof. Dr. J.

With more than 400 conventional laparoscopic surgeries and more than 650 daVinci robotic surgeries performed since 2010, in prostate cancer he is one of the leading urology specialists in our country who has adequate experience to combine these two techniques.
He took a place in medical literature for performing Laparoscopic and Robotic Pudendal Nerve Surgery on patients with chronic pelvic pain for the first time in the world, and named it ‘Istanbul Technique’. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=erdogru+t
