About
Emma Finnegan is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotic surgery and precision medicine, with key contributions spanning head and neck surgery and interventional cardiology. Her work is defined by rigorous evidence synthesis, particularly through systematic reviews and meta-analyses that evaluate emerging robotic technologies against conventional approaches. In her most cited paper (4 citations), Finnegan conducted a landmark systematic review comparing transoral robotic surgery to conventional techniques for submandibular stones, demonstrating the method's expanding utility beyond traditional oropharyngeal applications into the oral floor. She further advanced the field with a comprehensive meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis comparing robot-assisted versus manual percutaneous coronary intervention (2 citations), incorporating the latest device advancements to provide updated, clinically actionable insights. Though early in her career, Finnegan’s work is notable for its methodological rigor—employing propensity-matched investigations and trial sequential analysis to strengthen causal inference. Her research directly informs surgical decision-making, offering evidence that robotic assistance may improve precision and outcomes in both head and neck and cardiovascular procedures. For students and researchers, Finnegan exemplifies how systematic evidence synthesis can bridge technological innovation and clinical practice, setting a benchmark for evaluating emerging surgical technologies.
