About

Dr. Martina Pisarra is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose work is redefining postoperative care in robotic thoracic surgery. Her primary research focuses on enhancing recovery protocols and integrating telehealth to shorten hospital stays without compromising patient safety. In her landmark pilot study, "Early Hospital Discharge on Day Two Post Robotic Lobectomy with Telehealth Home Monitoring," Dr. Pisarra challenged conventional norms by demonstrating that patients can be safely discharged just two days after robotic lobectomy—a significant reduction from the typical four-day stay. This work, which has already garnered 7 citations, introduces a novel protocol combining early discharge with remote monitoring, potentially transforming patient recovery experiences and reducing healthcare costs. Her contributions are particularly impactful in the context of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs, where she provides evidence for more aggressive yet safe discharge timelines. Dr. Pisarra’s innovative approach not only advances surgical efficiency but also prioritizes patient-centered care, making her a leading voice in the future of minimally invasive thoracic surgery and telemedicine integration.
