About

Alexandre Stievano Carlos is a Brazilian gynecologic surgeon whose work focuses on advancing surgical techniques for pelvic organ prolapse (POP), a condition affecting hundreds of thousands of women annually. His major contribution lies in simplifying and refining sacrocolpopexy, the gold-standard procedure for vaginal vault prolapse. In his most cited work, "LESS Sacrocolpopexy: step by step of a simplified knotless technique," Carlos introduces a streamlined, knotless approach to laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy, reducing surgical complexity and operative time while maintaining efficacy. This technique, demonstrated in a video format, has garnered attention for its practical, reproducible methodology, earning 3 citations and serving as a valuable educational resource for surgeons. By addressing the high volume of POP surgeries—over 200,000 annually in the U.S. alone—Carlos’s work directly impacts clinical practice, offering a less invasive, more accessible option for patients. His dedication to surgical innovation and education underscores his role in improving outcomes for women with pelvic floor disorders, making him a notable figure in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.
