Dr Ackermann is a specialist urological surgeon trained in minimally invasive surgery (robotic and laparoscopy) for urological cancers, endoscopic surgery (laser prostate enucleation and urological stone disease) and microsurgery for infertility. After completing his undergraduate and postgraduate studies at the University of Stellenbosch, he gained valuable experience as a specialist consultant in the Department of Urology Oncology at the University of Stellenbosch and Tygerberg Academic Hospital. He managed urological oncology cases and performed clinical and scientific research. As principal investigator, he formed part of international clinical collaborative prostate cancer trials, offering access to Phase III clinical trial medication to the state sector patients. After partnering with the Cleveland Clinic in the USA in 2019 in the field of male infertility, the practice has become a centre of reference for microsurgical treatment of infertility. Dr Ackermann serves as a reviewer for the World Journal of Urology, supervises Master of Medicine (MMed) registrars for the Department of Oncology at the University of Stellenbosch and serves on the Editorial Board of the African Urology Journal.
