About
Federica Romano is a leading researcher in the field of surgical robotics and health technology assessment, with a particular focus on the economic and operational efficiency of robotic-assisted surgery. Her most cited work, "Use of robot‐specific resources and operating room times: the case of Telelap Alf‐X robotic hysterectomy" (2016, 32 citations), provides a pioneering cost analysis of the Telelap ALF-X system, quantifying the use of robotic materials and operating theatre times across 81 hysterectomy patients. This study is notable for offering critical, data-driven insights into the real-world resource demands of emerging robotic platforms, helping hospitals and policymakers evaluate the financial and logistical trade-offs of adopting new surgical technologies. Romano’s research bridges the gap between clinical innovation and healthcare economics, making her work essential for understanding how to optimize operating room efficiency and control costs in minimally invasive surgery. Her contributions are particularly valuable for students and researchers interested in the practical implementation of robotic systems, as she highlights the often-overlooked material and time costs that influence surgical decision-making and hospital budgeting.
