About
Shaneeta Johnson is a leading voice in surgical equity, focusing on the intersection of minimally invasive surgery (MIS), robotic technology, and health disparities. Her research critically examines how access to advanced surgical care—particularly robotic-assisted surgery—varies across hospital types and patient populations. In her highly cited 2025 paper, "Robotic Surgery in Safety-Net Hospitals," she demonstrates that MIS offers profound clinical and economic benefits, yet these advantages are not uniformly distributed, often leaving underserved communities behind. Johnson’s 2024 work on "Minimally Invasive Surgery Deserts" further identifies systemic barriers—including training gaps, hospital location, and health literacy—that prevent equitable access to robotic surgery. She also contributes to surgical education, as seen in her 2019 paper on integrating robotics training into general surgery residency curricula. With over 19 citations across her key publications, Johnson’s work is shaping the conversation on how to bridge the gap between technological innovation and equitable care delivery. Her research is essential reading for anyone interested in making advanced surgical techniques accessible to all patients, regardless of socioeconomic status.
