About
Ishna Auluck is a health services researcher whose work focuses on the economic evaluation of surgical procedures, particularly in urological oncology. Her primary research area involves comparing the cost-effectiveness of robot-assisted versus open surgical techniques, with a specific emphasis on radical cystectomy for bladder cancer. Auluck’s major contribution is providing evidence-based cost analyses that help healthcare systems make informed decisions about adopting expensive robotic technologies. Her most-cited paper, "Cost analysis of open radical cystectomy versus robot-assisted radical cystectomy" (2017, 39 citations), conducted at a UK tertiary referral centre, identifies key cost drivers such as hospital length of stay, operative time, and transfusion rates. This work is notable for offering practical insights into the financial implications of surgical innovation, directly impacting hospital budgeting and resource allocation. Auluck’s research is particularly valuable for clinicians and administrators navigating the balance between improved patient outcomes and escalating healthcare costs. Her findings underscore the importance of rigorous economic evaluation in surgical practice, making her a key voice in the ongoing debate about the value of robotic surgery in the National Health Service.
