About
M O'Neill is a health economist whose research focuses on the economic evaluation of surgical technologies, particularly in gynecology and robotic surgery. Their most-cited work, "Economic evaluation of robot‐assisted hysterectomy: a cost‐minimisation analysis" (2014, 37 citations), provides a rigorous cost-minimisation analysis comparing robot-assisted hysterectomy to the standard of care in Ireland—a combination of traditional open and conventional laparoscopic surgery. This study offers critical insights into the cost-effectiveness of robotic platforms in a publicly funded healthcare system, informing resource allocation decisions. O'Neill's contributions lie in applying health economic frameworks to assess the financial implications of adopting advanced surgical innovations, helping policymakers and clinicians weigh clinical benefits against economic realities. Their work underscores the importance of evidence-based decision-making in surgical practice, particularly as robotic technologies become more widespread. With a focus on cost-minimisation and comparative effectiveness, O'Neill's research is valuable for students and researchers interested in the intersection of health economics, surgical outcomes, and technology assessment.
