About

Nebojsa Stevanovic is a pioneering figure in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, with a primary research focus on comparing robotic-assisted and conventional laparoscopic hysterectomy outcomes. His major contributions lie in providing rigorous, evidence-based evaluations of surgical techniques, particularly through controlled clinical trials and matched case-control studies. His landmark 2012 randomized trial, cited 191 times, systematically compared surgical outcomes and quality of life between robotic and conventional laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign indications, offering critical insights into their relative efficacy. Earlier, his 2010 matched case-control study, with 178 citations, pioneered cost-effectiveness analyses alongside surgical outcomes, highlighting the economic implications of adopting robotic technology. Stevanovic’s work has been instrumental in guiding clinical decision-making, demonstrating that while robotic surgery offers technical advantages, it may not always justify its higher costs. His research is widely referenced by surgeons and healthcare policymakers, cementing his reputation as a key authority in the ongoing debate over robotic surgery’s role in gynecology. For students and researchers, his studies exemplify how rigorous comparative effectiveness research can shape surgical practice and resource allocation.
