About
Dr. Alicia Le Bras is a leading health economist and health services researcher whose work focuses on the cost-effectiveness and real-world outcomes of robotic-assisted surgery. Her research provides critical evidence for healthcare decision-makers, particularly in the context of public hospital systems. Dr. Le Bras has made major contributions by rigorously comparing the costs and clinical outcomes of robotic surgery against traditional approaches for both benign gynecologic and thoracic procedures. Her most-cited work, a 2024 study on the cost-effectiveness of robot-assisted total hysterectomy (7 citations), demonstrates that robotic surgery can be a viable option for benign pathologies when compared to laparoscopy. She has also evaluated the financial impact of introducing robotic thoracic surgery in public hospitals (5 citations) and analyzed the cost-effectiveness of robotic myomectomy versus open surgery (3 citations). Through these highly practical, policy-relevant analyses, Dr. Le Bras is helping to define the value proposition of robotic surgery, guiding resource allocation and surgical decision-making in modern healthcare.
