About

Marilyn Moucharite’s research centers on surgical outcomes and healthcare delivery, with a particular focus on the adoption and comparative effectiveness of minimally invasive techniques. Her work provides critical insights into how hospital infrastructure and surgical volume shape patient care. In her most cited study, “Predictors of Robotic Versus Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair” (2019, 28 citations), she identifies key factors driving surgeons’ choice between robotic and laparoscopic approaches, informing clinical decision-making and resource allocation. Her 2018 investigation into hysterectomy trends reveals significant geographic and volume-based disparities in the uptake of minimally invasive surgery and outpatient settings among Medicare patients. By highlighting how hospital surgical volume influences the shift toward less invasive procedures, Moucharite’s research underscores the importance of systemic factors in achieving equitable, high-quality surgical care. Her work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in surgical innovation, health services research, and the real-world implementation of new technologies.
