About
Rossana Castaldo is a leading researcher in the field of surgical oncology and health economics, with a particular focus on the cost-effectiveness and sustainability of minimally invasive surgical techniques. Her most-cited work, a multicentre retrospective comparative study and cost analysis on robotic right colectomy, has garnered 49 citations and stands as a pivotal contribution to the debate on the economic viability of robotic surgery. Castaldo’s research rigorously evaluates the balance between clinical outcomes and financial burdens, providing evidence that robotic approaches, while offering potential benefits, require careful economic justification. Her work has directly informed clinical decision-making and hospital resource allocation, making her a key voice in the push for value-based healthcare. Beyond this landmark study, Castaldo has contributed to broader discussions on surgical innovation, patient safety, and the integration of new technologies into standard practice. Her research is essential reading for surgeons, health policy makers, and economists alike, as it bridges the gap between cutting-edge surgical practice and the real-world constraints of healthcare systems.
