About
Dr. Pamela Mar is a pioneering surgeon whose work centers on minimally invasive and robotic-assisted hepatobiliary surgery, with a particular focus on rare anatomical variants. Her most notable contribution is the first reported case of a robotic single-site cholecystectomy for a symptomatic duplicated gallbladder, a congenital anomaly occurring in only 0.003% of the population. In this landmark 2020 case report, Dr. Mar demonstrated that robotic single-site technology can safely navigate the unique anatomical challenges of duplicated gallbladders—such as aberrant cystic ducts and shared vascular supply—while offering patients the benefits of reduced scarring and faster recovery. Though a niche contribution, her work has been cited by subsequent studies on robotic management of biliary anomalies, highlighting its role as a technical proof-of-concept. Dr. Mar’s research bridges the gap between rare pathology and cutting-edge surgical innovation, providing a roadmap for surgeons encountering complex biliary anatomy. Her dedication to advancing robotic techniques underscores her commitment to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in minimally invasive surgery.
