About

Antonio Carlos Lima Pompeo is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly in the realms of laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) and pelvic floor reconstruction. His major contributions include the development and refinement of novel approaches that reduce patient morbidity while improving cosmetic outcomes. In his seminal 2011 paper, "Single-Site Video Endoscopic Inguinal Lymphadenectomy: Initial Report," which has garnered 35 citations, Pompeo introduced a groundbreaking technique that applies LESS principles to inguinal lymphadenectomy, significantly decreasing postoperative pain and scarring compared to traditional methods. He further advanced the field with his 2012 work, "LESS Sacrocolpopexy: step by step of a simplified knotless technique," which details a streamlined, knotless approach to treating pelvic organ prolapse—a condition affecting hundreds of thousands of patients annually. This work demonstrates his commitment to simplifying complex procedures, making them more accessible and reproducible. Pompeo’s research has had a tangible impact on surgical practice, offering patients safer, less invasive options for conditions ranging from oncologic lymph node dissection to pelvic floor disorders. His innovative spirit and dedication to improving surgical outcomes continue to inspire the next generation of minimally invasive surgeons.
