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.

土耳其泌尿科医学历史学家先驱（Saim Erkun 1901-1949）及其对前列腺的一个世纪历史回顾

赛姆·埃尔昆（Saim Erkun，1901-1949 年）出生于安纳托利亚爱琴海地区的马尼萨，是奥斯曼帝国公民。他的早年生活是在奥斯曼帝国晚期的军事行动中度过的，其中包括英国殖民地的军事战俘营；印度，他的活跃职业创作时期是土耳其共和国早期（1923年，一百周年）。凭借法语、德语和英语等世界主要科学语言的良好水平，他接受了良好的医学教育。除了他的主要职业之外，他还对征服伊斯坦布尔前后的奥斯曼泌尿医学感兴趣，并在 20 世纪 30 年代在他的书中为它们分配了一个位置。他是土耳其现代医学最早的泌尿外科住院医师之一（1929-1933 年，伊斯坦布尔）。他进行了许多泌尿外科手术，并按照现代科学算法发表了结果，此外，他的出版物中还出现了一些泌尿外科书籍，其中包括部分参考奥斯曼古代文献的“历史”。在这份手稿中，我们永远关注泌尿外科这个神奇的词； “前列腺”，在他的文章中。土耳其医学，特别是泌尿科，在第一次世界大战后，由于旧奥斯曼帝国的崩溃而在现代土耳其的建立过程中经历了短暂的挣扎之后，由一些聪明勤奋的年轻临床医生（例如 Saim Erkun）实现了自我更新。此外，我们认为，特别应该提及泌尿学中令人震惊的特殊词“前列腺”，以强调这一开端的重要性。
