About
Dr. Luca Perna is a pioneering surgeon whose work sits at the critical intersection of gynecologic surgery and gender-affirming care. His primary research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques—specifically robotic hysterectomy—to improve outcomes for transgender and gender non-conforming patients. Dr. Perna’s most cited study, “Robotic Hysterectomy as a Step of Gender Affirmative Surgery in Female-to-Male Patients” (2019, 14 citations), is a landmark contribution that systematically evaluated the feasibility, safety, and short- and long-term surgical outcomes of robotic hysterectomy in this population. By demonstrating that robotic surgery can be performed effectively and safely as part of gender affirmation, his work has helped establish a new standard of care, reducing recovery times and surgical complications for transgender men. This research not only advances surgical practice but also addresses a historically underserved community, highlighting Dr. Perna’s commitment to both technical innovation and health equity. His findings continue to inform clinical protocols and inspire further investigation into robotic applications for gender-affirming procedures.
