About
Dr. Marina Gardiman is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive and robotic-assisted techniques for complex urologic conditions. Her primary research areas include robotic radical prostatectomy, ureteral pathology, and innovative surgical approaches that balance oncologic control with functional preservation. She is perhaps best known for her pioneering investigation into “extreme” bladder neck preservation during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy—a technique designed to improve postoperative urinary continence without compromising cancer clearance. Her 2020 study on this topic (3 citations) addresses a critical concern in prostate cancer surgery, demonstrating that this ultra-conservative approach can be both safe and effective. Dr. Gardiman also contributed to the urologic literature with a notable 2016 case report on the endoscopic diagnosis and robotic treatment of a giant fibroepithelial polyp of the ureter (8 citations), a rare cause of ureteropelvic junction obstruction. This work highlights her expertise in managing uncommon pathologies with cutting-edge robotic tools. Though her citation counts are modest, they reflect focused, high-impact contributions to specialized surgical fields. Dr. Gardiman’s work is particularly valuable for trainees and surgeons seeking to refine robotic techniques that improve patient quality of life.
