About
Gina Na is a pioneering surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and optimizing surgical robotics for head and neck procedures. Her major contributions include providing the first comprehensive comparison of the da Vinci Xi system with its predecessor, the Si system, in the context of TORS. In her landmark 2016 study, which has garnered 26 citations, she systematically evaluated the settings, advantages, and limitations of the Xi system, offering critical workflow guidance for surgeons adopting this new technology. Her work has directly shaped clinical practice by highlighting the Xi system’s enhanced mobility, improved ergonomics, and streamlined setup, while also cautioning about its learning curve and instrument constraints. Beyond this, Na’s research continues to influence the evolution of robotic surgery, helping to bridge the gap between technological innovation and practical surgical application. Her findings are essential reading for surgeons and researchers seeking to understand the trade-offs in robotic system selection, and her insights have contributed to safer, more efficient TORS procedures.
