About
Dr. Patricia Marino is a leading figure in gynecologic oncology, with a research focus on surgical innovation and health economics. Her most influential work, a 2015 study on the cost-effectiveness of robotic-assisted laparoscopy versus conventional laparoscopy for gynecologic oncologic indications, has garnered 50 citations and reshaped clinical decision-making. By rigorously comparing outcomes and financial burdens, Marino demonstrated that while robotic surgery offers technical advantages, its higher costs often do not justify routine use over traditional methods—a finding that has guided hospital policy and insurance coverage. This landmark paper, widely cited by surgeons and health policy analysts, underscores her commitment to evidence-based, patient-centered care. Beyond this, Marino’s broader contributions include advancing minimally invasive techniques and advocating for equitable access to high-quality surgical care. Her work bridges the gap between cutting-edge technology and practical affordability, making her a trusted voice in both academic and clinical settings. For students and researchers, Marino exemplifies how rigorous cost analysis can drive meaningful change in surgical practice.
