About

Conor Teljeur is a health economist and evidence synthesis specialist whose research focuses on the economic evaluation and comparative effectiveness of surgical technologies, particularly robotic-assisted surgery. His major contributions lie in systematically assessing the clinical and economic value of robot-assisted procedures compared to traditional open and laparoscopic approaches. His most cited work, a 2013 systematic review and meta-analysis on robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (123 citations), rigorously compared outcomes across surgical modalities, while a companion meta-analysis on robot-assisted hysterectomy (64 citations) extended this evidence base. Teljeur’s innovative methodological work on using prediction intervals from random-effects meta-analyses in economic models (28 citations) has advanced how researchers incorporate uncertainty into health technology assessments. Notably, his cost-minimization analysis of robot-assisted hysterectomy (37 citations) provided critical economic evidence for healthcare decision-makers in Ireland. By combining rigorous meta-analytic techniques with health economic modeling, Teljeur has helped clarify when expensive robotic technologies offer genuine value over conventional surgery, making his work essential reading for researchers and policymakers navigating the adoption of costly surgical innovations.
