About
Leena Patel is a leading health outcomes researcher whose work bridges orthopedic surgery and health economics. Her primary research areas include the clinical and economic evaluation of robotic-assisted surgery, healthcare resource utilization, and evidence synthesis through systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Patel’s most impactful contribution is her landmark 2023 systematic review and meta-analysis on economic and healthcare resource utilization outcomes for robotic versus manual total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This work, which has garnered 21 citations in a short time, critically addressed a major gap in the literature: while the clinical benefits of robotic TKA were well-established, robust evidence on cost-effectiveness and resource use was lacking. By synthesizing available data, Patel provided the first comprehensive assessment of whether the precision and standardization offered by robotic systems translate into tangible economic advantages for healthcare systems. Her findings have informed surgical decision-making and hospital budgeting, positioning her as a key voice in value-based orthopedic care. Patel’s rigorous methodological approach and focus on real-world outcomes continue to shape how surgeons and policymakers evaluate emerging surgical technologies.
