About
Ka Martina is a pioneering figure in the field of minimally invasive endocrine surgery, with a focused expertise in robotic-assisted adrenalectomy. Her major contributions center on evaluating the safety, feasibility, and perioperative outcomes of the Da Vinci Single-Port (DV-SP) robotic system for adrenal gland removal. In her landmark 2025 systematic review and pooled analysis, Martina synthesized evidence from a comprehensive search of major databases, providing the first consolidated data on this novel technique. This work, which has already garnered 6 citations shortly after publication, critically assessed patient outcomes and operative metrics, offering surgeons a valuable evidence base for adopting single-port robotic approaches. Her research directly addresses a significant gap in the literature, as the DV-SP system was introduced in 2018 but lacked robust pooled outcome data. Through rigorous methodology using the PICO framework, Martina has established herself as a key authority in advancing robotic adrenal surgery, helping to shape clinical guidelines and inspire further innovation in reducing surgical invasiveness while maintaining patient safety.
