About

Miguel Toledano is a leading health outcomes researcher whose work sits at the critical intersection of surgical innovation and economic sustainability. His primary research focus is the comparative cost-effectiveness of robotic versus laparoscopic surgery, a field where he has made landmark contributions through the ROBOCOSTES project—a prospective, multicentric national trial conducted across Spain. Toledano’s major contributions include providing rigorous, real-world evidence that robotic surgery offers measurable advantages in specific procedures, such as rectal resection and distal pancreatectomy, while also quantifying its higher upfront costs. His most cited paper, “Cost-Effectiveness of Robotic vs. Laparoscopic Surgery for Different Surgical Procedures: Protocol for a Prospective, Multicentric Study (ROBOCOSTES)” (2022, 21 citations), established the methodological framework for this work. Subsequent publications, including the 2025 trial results for rectal resection (16 citations) and the 2024 distal pancreatectomy analysis (10 citations), have become essential references for surgeons, hospital administrators, and policymakers navigating the adoption of robotic platforms. By combining clinical outcomes with rigorous health economics, Toledano’s research empowers evidence-based decisions that balance patient benefit with healthcare system costs.
