About
Manuel Alberto Lasaia is a leading surgical researcher whose work focuses on the comparative effectiveness and economic evaluation of minimally invasive pancreatic surgery. His major contributions center on the rigorous assessment of robotic versus laparoscopic approaches, particularly for distal pancreatectomy. As a key investigator in the national prospective ROBOCOSTES trial, Lasaia has provided critical evidence on the cost-effectiveness of robotic surgery, demonstrating that while robotic distal pancreatectomy may offer technical advantages, its higher costs require careful consideration in clinical decision-making. His 2024 publication on this topic has already garnered 10 citations, reflecting its immediate impact on surgical practice and health policy. Lasaia’s research bridges the gap between surgical innovation and economic sustainability, offering valuable insights for hospitals weighing investments in robotic platforms. His work is essential reading for surgeons, health economists, and trainees interested in the future of minimally invasive surgery and value-based healthcare.
