About
Dr. Martina Tascone is a pioneering head and neck surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex neck pathologies. Her major contribution lies in the development and clinical application of VITOM-3D-assisted retroauricular neck surgery (RANS-3D), a novel approach that integrates three-dimensional exoscopic visualization with a hidden retroauricular incision. This technique, detailed in her most-cited 2021 study from the Candiolo Cancer Institute, offers superior cosmetic outcomes and enhanced depth perception compared to traditional open surgery, while maintaining oncologic safety for both benign and malignant tumors. Though her seminal paper has garnered 4 citations—a modest number reflecting the niche but rapidly evolving field—her work represents a significant technical innovation in head and neck oncology, bridging the gap between robotic and conventional approaches. Dr. Tascone’s preliminary experience has established a foundation for broader adoption of 3D exoscopic surgery, positioning her as a key contributor to the next generation of scarless, high-precision neck surgery.
