About
Maninder Bhambra is a health services researcher whose work focuses on the economic evaluation of surgical procedures, particularly in urological oncology. Her major contribution lies in conducting rigorous cost-analysis studies that compare traditional open surgery with robotic-assisted techniques, providing crucial data for healthcare decision-making. Her most cited work, "Cost analysis of open radical cystectomy versus robot‑assisted radical cystectomy" (2017), with 39 citations, examines the financial implications of these two approaches for bladder cancer treatment at a UK tertiary referral centre. This study identifies key cost drivers such as hospital length of stay, operative time, and transfusion rates, offering evidence that helps hospitals and policymakers weigh the economic trade-offs of adopting expensive robotic technology. A related paper on the same topic (10 citations) further strengthens her contribution to this niche but impactful area. Bhambra’s research is notable for its practical relevance: by quantifying real-world costs, she empowers clinicians and administrators to make informed choices that balance patient outcomes with financial sustainability. Her work is essential reading for anyone interested in the economics of modern surgical care.
