About

N. L. Titova is a researcher in the field of surgical economics and medical technology assessment, with a primary focus on the cost-effectiveness of robotic-assisted surgery. Their most cited work, "Cost price of robot-assisted and laparoscopic operations" (2015, 4 citations), critically examines the financial barriers to adopting robotic surgical systems, highlighting the prohibitive costs of robotic complexes and consumables as a major obstacle to widespread implementation. Titova’s analysis provides a foundational economic perspective, arguing that a rigorous cost-benefit evaluation is essential for integrating robotic surgery as a viable alternative to traditional laparoscopic methods. This contribution is particularly relevant for healthcare policymakers and surgical departments in resource-constrained settings, offering data-driven insights to guide investment decisions. While their citation count reflects a niche but impactful contribution, Titova’s work underscores the importance of balancing technological innovation with economic sustainability in modern surgery, making it a key reference for researchers studying the intersection of healthcare economics and surgical robotics.
