About
Dr. Kossar Hosseini is a health economist and clinical researcher whose work bridges surgical innovation and healthcare value, with a particular focus on organ transplantation and cost-effectiveness analysis. Her most-cited study, "Cost-effectiveness of four living-donor nephrectomy techniques from a hospital perspective" (2019, 27 citations), is a landmark contribution that systematically compared open surgery, standard laparoscopy, hand-assisted laparoscopy, and robot-assisted nephrectomy. By analyzing both clinical outcomes and hospital costs, Hosseini provided the first comprehensive evidence that less invasive techniques, while more expensive upfront, may offer superior value when accounting for donor recovery and reduced complications. This work has directly informed surgical decision-making in European transplant centers, where the ethical imperative to minimize harm to healthy living donors is paramount. Her research exemplifies how rigorous health economic modeling can guide resource allocation in surgery, ensuring that innovation translates into tangible benefits for patients and healthcare systems alike.
