About
Amel Ibrahim is a leading voice in health technology assessment, with a primary focus on the economic and clinical evaluation of robotic surgery, particularly within urology. Her most impactful work, a 2012 systematic review with over 110 citations, rigorously assessed the cost-effectiveness of robotic-assisted urological procedures. This landmark study provided Level 1a evidence, critically demonstrating that while robotic surgery offers technical advantages, it remains significantly more expensive than both laparoscopic and open approaches due to high acquisition, maintenance, and disposable costs. By clearly quantifying these economic barriers, Ibrahim’s research has been instrumental in guiding hospital procurement decisions and shaping health policy debates around surgical innovation. Her contributions are vital for surgeons, hospital administrators, and policymakers seeking to balance cutting-edge technology with sustainable healthcare spending. Through her systematic and evidence-based approach, Amel Ibrahim continues to inform the global conversation on value-based surgical care.
