About
Stacey J. Ackerman is a leading health economist and outcomes researcher whose work bridges surgical innovation, patient safety, and healthcare cost-effectiveness. Her research primarily focuses on the comparative effectiveness of robotic-assisted versus laparoscopic surgery, particularly in colorectal and orthopedic procedures. In her highly cited 2017 study, Ackerman compared complication and conversion rates between robotic-assisted and laparoscopic rectal resection for rectal cancer, identifying which patients and providers could benefit most from robotic-assisted surgery—a paper that has garnered 43 citations and influenced surgical decision-making. More recently, her 2023 work on total hip arthroplasty projected substantial cost savings by reducing revision rates due to dislocation in patients with spinopelvic pathology, demonstrating her ability to translate clinical risk into economic impact. Ackerman’s research is distinguished by its integration of clinical outcomes with health economic modeling, providing actionable insights for surgeons, hospitals, and policymakers. Her work has been instrumental in shaping value-based surgical care, and she continues to be a sought-after expert for studies evaluating the real-world benefits of advanced surgical technologies.
