    A pioneer Turkish urologist-medical historian (Saim Erkun 1901–1949) and his one-century-old review about prostate
    (SAGE Publications, 2024) Verit, Ayhan; Karaman, Muhammet İhsan
    Saim Erkun (1901–1949) was born in Manisa at Aegean region of Anatolia as an Ottoman citizen. While his early life was spent in late Ottoman times at military actions including military prison camp in British colony; India, his active professional productive period was in early Turkish republic period (Est. 1923, centenary). He had a good education period for medicine with the help of his good level of all main World scientific languages such as French, German, and English. Besides his main profession, he was also interested in Ottoman urological medicine around the conquer of Istanbul and allocated them a space in his books in 1930s. He was one of the earliest urology resident (1929–1933, Istanbul) of modern medicine in Turkey. He performed many urological procedures and published the outcomes following modern scientific algorithms, furthermore, there have been urological books including “history” partly referring to antique Ottoman literature among his publications. In this manuscript we focused on the magic word of Urology forever; “Prostate,” among his essays. Turkish medicine, particularly urology, renewed itself by some intelligent hard working young clinicians such as Saim Erkun, immediately after the short struggling by means of establishment process of modern Turkiye after World War I by the collapsing of old Ottoman Empire. Furthermore, we think that the stunning special word of urology, “prostate,” should especially be mentioned to emphasize the importance of this beginning.
