About
Annamaria Martullo is a pioneering surgeon at the forefront of robotic adrenal surgery, specializing in the comparative evaluation of next-generation surgical platforms. Her major contribution lies in rigorously assessing the feasibility, safety, and cost-effectiveness of novel robotic systems—specifically the Hugo™-RAS and Versius® platforms—against the established DaVinci system for adrenalectomy. In her seminal 2025 study, she provided the first preliminary retrospective analysis comparing these three platforms, demonstrating that while all are viable for challenging adrenal lesions, cost remains the primary barrier to broader adoption. This work, already accumulating citations, is critical for guiding hospitals in selecting cost-efficient robotic systems without compromising patient outcomes. Martullo’s research directly addresses the pressing need to validate emerging technologies in minimally invasive surgery, offering data-driven insights that help shape surgical protocols and equipment procurement. Her findings are particularly valuable for surgeons and institutions seeking to expand robotic adrenalectomy access while managing economic constraints. By systematically benchmarking these platforms, Martullo is helping to democratize advanced surgical care, ensuring that innovation translates into practical, affordable solutions for patients worldwide.
