About

Dr. Alexandre Houlthausen Campos is a pioneering Brazilian urological surgeon whose work has been instrumental in introducing and refining robot-assisted radical prostatectomy in Latin America. His landmark 2009 study, "Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy in Brazil: preliminary results," reported the initial experience with this minimally invasive technique in the country, analyzing data from the first 100 patients treated between 2008 and 2009. This foundational work documented critical perioperative outcomes and patient demographics, establishing a benchmark for robotic urological surgery in the region. With 3 citations, the paper remains a key reference for surgeons adopting robotic platforms in Brazil, demonstrating the feasibility and safety of the approach in a local context. Dr. Campos’s contributions have helped democratize access to advanced surgical technology, reducing recovery times and improving oncological outcomes for prostate cancer patients. His pioneering efforts continue to influence the adoption of robotic surgery across South America, positioning him as a trailblazer in the field.
