His work bridges gynecology, urology, colorectal surgery, neurology, and pain medicine, with a particular focus on refractory pelvic pain, pudendal neuralgia, and complex endometriosis.
An active clinician-scientist, he leads international collaborations on nerve-sparing endometriosis surgery, advanced imaging, neuromodulation, and AI-driven diagnostic tools for chronic pelvic pain. Dr. Lemos has served in major leadership roles within AAGL, ICS, ESGE, and endometriosis societies worldwide and is a frequent invited speaker at international congresses. His career is dedicated to redefining endometriosis care through anatomical precision, interdisciplinary collaboration, and innovation.
