About
Matteo Ruggeri is a leading health economist whose research focuses on the economic evaluation of surgical technologies, particularly robotic-assisted procedures. His major contributions lie in quantifying the real-world costs and resource utilization of innovative surgical platforms, providing crucial evidence for healthcare decision-making. His most-cited work, a 2016 study on Telelap Alf‑X robotic hysterectomy (32 citations), was pioneering in identifying and measuring robotic-specific material usage and operating room times, offering a rigorous cost-analysis framework for emerging technologies. Beyond this, Ruggeri’s broader portfolio examines the economic burden of chronic diseases, the efficiency of healthcare delivery models, and the cost-effectiveness of medical devices. His work is highly influential among health policy makers and hospital administrators, as it translates complex clinical data into actionable financial insights. By bridging the gap between surgical innovation and economic sustainability, Ruggeri has become a key voice in the debate on the value of robotic surgery, helping to ensure that new technologies are adopted only when they offer tangible benefits relative to their costs.
