About
Dr. Marisa Wozniak is a leading surgical researcher whose work focuses on the comparative effectiveness and economic impact of minimally invasive hepatobiliary surgery. Her major contributions lie in rigorously evaluating the trade-offs between robotic and laparoscopic approaches for liver resections, particularly in the context of cancer care. Her landmark 2021 study, a propensity-matched retrospective cohort analysis of the ACS NSQIP database, provided critical, real-world evidence on the cost-benefit dynamics of robotic versus laparoscopic hepatectomy. Garnering 31 citations, this work is foundational for surgeons and hospital administrators navigating the adoption of expensive robotic platforms, helping to clarify whether their higher costs are justified by improved patient outcomes. Dr. Wozniak’s research is distinguished by its methodological rigor and its direct relevance to clinical decision-making and healthcare policy. By quantifying both clinical and economic endpoints, she has established herself as a key voice in the ongoing debate over the value of surgical innovation, guiding the field toward more evidence-based and cost-conscious care.
