About
Dr. Yamely Mendez is a pioneering surgeon whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive gynecologic surgery and advanced intraoperative imaging. Her primary research focuses on enhancing surgical safety during complex endometriosis resections, particularly through the innovative application of robotic transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (RvNOTES). Dr. Mendez’s most notable contribution is her landmark 2024 study exploring the feasibility of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence for real-time ureteral visualization during RvNOTES. This work directly addresses the critical challenge of preventing urinary tract injuries—a major complication in deep endometriosis surgery—by demonstrating how ICG can illuminate the ureters intraoperatively, thereby reducing the risk of inadvertent damage. Already garnering 7 citations shortly after publication, her research is rapidly shaping best practices in robotic gynecologic oncology and endometriosis care. Dr. Mendez’s dedication to merging cutting-edge technology with patient safety positions her as a rising leader in the field, with her findings promising to make complex endoscopic procedures safer and more reproducible for surgeons worldwide.
