About
Kamilla Karlsen is a health economist and health services researcher whose work focuses on the economic evaluation of surgical innovations, with a particular emphasis on robotic surgery in gynecology. Her research critically examines the methodological rigor of costing studies, exposing significant weaknesses in how resource use and costs are reported. Her most cited paper, a systematic review from 2018, systematically evaluated the quality of costing methodology in robotic surgery studies, finding that most evidence was of low quality—a landmark finding that has shaped subsequent research standards and informed policy discussions on surgical technology adoption. With over 30 citations, this work has become a key reference for researchers seeking to improve the validity of economic analyses in surgery. Karlsen’s contributions are notable for their emphasis on methodological transparency and evidence-based decision-making, helping to bridge the gap between clinical innovation and responsible resource allocation. Her work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in health technology assessment, surgical outcomes, and the economics of emerging medical technologies.
