About
A. Altides is a surgeon-scientist advancing the frontiers of minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, with a focused expertise in robotic-assisted procedures for deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). Their key research centers on the innovative application of intraoperative imaging to enhance surgical safety and precision. Altides’s most notable contribution is the pioneering use of indocyanine green (ICG)-enhanced near-infrared fluorescence to localize the ureter during complex robotic surgeries. This technique is particularly critical for patients with challenging anatomical variants, such as crossed renal ectopia, where the ureter’s atypical course poses a high risk of injury. Their landmark 2021 paper demonstrates the feasibility of transurethral ICG injection to provide real-time, vivid visualization of the ureter, enabling safer dissection of DIE from the pelvic sidewall. While this work has garnered 2 citations, its true impact lies in its clinical utility for preventing iatrogenic ureteral damage in high-risk cases. Altides’s research bridges the gap between advanced imaging technology and surgical practice, offering a practical solution to a persistent operative challenge. Their work is a valuable resource for surgeons seeking to improve outcomes in complex pelvic surgery.
