About
Dr. Maria S. Altieri is a leading researcher at the intersection of computer vision, robotics, and surgical outcomes. Her work primarily focuses on evaluating the clinical value and comparative effectiveness of robotic and minimally invasive surgical techniques across a range of procedures, including colorectal, hernia, and bariatric surgery. Dr. Altieri’s major contributions include landmark studies using large-scale administrative databases—such as her analysis of 168,248 cases showing robotic approaches may benefit colorectal procedures—and her investigation of 21,565 robotic ventral hernia repairs in New York State. Her most impactful work, "Computer vision in surgery: from potential to clinical value" (189 citations), bridges the gap between emerging AI technologies and practical surgical applications. Dr. Altieri has also challenged conventional wisdom by demonstrating that robotic-assisted outcomes are not necessarily tied to surgeon volume and experience. With studies involving over 284,000 patients for sleeve gastrectomy outcomes and 153,727 patients for inguinal hernia repair, her research provides critical evidence for surgical decision-making. Her work continues to shape how surgeons integrate advanced technologies into clinical practice.
