About
Fernanda Hack Gomes is a leading researcher in gynecologic surgery, with a primary focus on endometriosis and its impact on lower urinary tract function. Her work centers on the critical balance between complete excision of deep infiltrating endometriosis and the preservation of pelvic autonomic nerves to prevent postoperative urinary complications. Gomes’s major contributions include demonstrating that minimally invasive nerve-sparing techniques can significantly reduce lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and pain severity, as shown in her 2024 observational study of 143 patients (4 citations). She further advanced the field by establishing that unilateral nerve preservation during parametrectomy is insufficient to prevent persistent urinary retention, a finding with direct implications for surgical planning (3 citations). Her research bridges urodynamic outcomes with surgical technique, offering evidence-based guidance for cytoreductive endometriosis surgery. Gomes’s work is highly relevant for surgeons and urologists seeking to optimize patient quality of life, and her findings have been cited in clinical guidelines. By quantifying the functional consequences of nerve-sparing approaches, she has helped refine surgical protocols to minimize morbidity while maintaining oncologic efficacy.
