About
Marie Hunsinger is a surgical outcomes researcher whose work focuses on the comparative effectiveness and utilization of robotic versus laparoscopic and open surgical techniques, particularly in oncology. Her major contributions center on evaluating the real-world adoption, accessibility, and quality of minimally invasive surgery using large national databases. Her most cited work, a 2018 review of the National Inpatient Sample comparing laparoscopic and robotic adrenalectomy (49 citations), provides critical evidence on the safety and outcomes of these approaches. Her 2017 study on robotic rectal cancer resection, using the National Cancer Database, is notable for its rigorous assessment of utilization disparities and resection quality, highlighting that robotic technology, while promising, remains less accessible. Through these analyses, Hunsinger has helped clarify where robotic surgery offers genuine advantages and where barriers to equitable access persist. Her work is essential reading for surgeons and health services researchers interested in the evidence-based integration of advanced surgical technologies, offering data-driven insights that inform both clinical decision-making and healthcare policy.
