Some urologists operate. Others operate, publish, teach, and train the next generation of physicians. Prof. Basri Çakıroğlu firmly belongs to the second category. Born in Samsun in 1969, he has built over thirty years a career that spans high-level clinical practice, scientific research published in internationally indexed journals, and university teaching.
Prof. Çakıroğlu obtained his medical degree from the Faculty of Medicine at Ondokuz Mayıs University in Samsun in 1994.

In 2005, he joined Hisar Intercontinental Hospital in Istanbul, one of the city's most internationally accredited private institutions. He took over as supervisor of the urology clinic, a position he has held ever since. Between 2016 and 2017, he simultaneously provided theoretical and practical training courses for urology residents at Gaziosmanpaşa Taksim Training and Research Hospital.
On January 22, 2020, he was awarded the title of Associate Professor of Urology. He subsequently taught at Atlas University and Istanbul Galata University before joining the Faculty of Medicine at Üsküdar University in 2023 as an academic staff member. On June 12, 2025, he was appointed Full Professor in the Department of Urology, the culmination of more than twenty years of academic commitment.
His areas of specialization cover endourology, pediatric urology, urooncology, andrology, and male infertility. He is recognized for his command of minimally invasive surgical techniques, including laparoscopic urological surgery and prostate and bladder cancer surgery. He has performed more than 900 urological procedures, with a particular focus on approaches that allow for rapid recovery and optimal postoperative comfort.
Prof. Çakıroğlu has authored more than 30 scientific articles published in national and international peer-reviewed journals, several of which are indexed in SCI and SCI-E. He is an active speaker and participant at international urology congresses, symposia, and academic panels.
