About
Dr. N. Marino is a pioneering pediatric surgeon whose work is advancing the application of robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) in children. Their research focuses on the safety, efficacy, and technical nuances of minimally invasive techniques for complex congenital conditions. A key contribution is their critical analysis of conversion rates in pediatric RAS, identifying the specific causes and risk factors that lead to converting a robotic procedure to an open one—a vital step for improving patient outcomes and surgical decision-making. This work, detailed in their most-cited paper (12 citations), provides a foundational framework for the field. Dr. Marino also demonstrated the feasibility of RAS for rare pathologies, as in their detailed case report (6 citations) describing the first-ever robot-assisted resection of gastric duplication cysts in a child. By pushing the boundaries of what is surgically possible in the pediatric population, Dr. Marino is helping to establish best practices for the next generation of robotic pediatric surgeons, ultimately aiming to reduce trauma and improve recovery for their young patients.
