About
Anthony C. Howard is a surgeon-researcher whose work critically examines the economics and outcomes of modern surgical techniques, particularly robotic surgery. His most cited study, "Extra Costs of Robotic Surgery in Minor and Major Surgeries," leverages the National Inpatient Sample to reveal the substantial financial burdens associated with robotic approaches across a spectrum of procedures. This work, cited 3 times, underscores a key contribution: providing evidence-based cost analysis that challenges assumptions about the value of emerging technologies in surgery. By quantifying these extra costs, Howard’s research informs hospital policy, surgical decision-making, and healthcare resource allocation. His findings are especially relevant for students and clinicians navigating the balance between innovation and fiscal responsibility. Through this impactful analysis, Howard has established himself as a voice for pragmatic, data-driven evaluation of surgical tools, encouraging a more critical look at the true price of progress in the operating room.
