About
Dr. Sue L. Visscher is a health services researcher whose work sits at the critical intersection of surgical innovation, cost-effectiveness, and patient outcomes. Her primary research areas include gynecologic surgery, enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols, and the economic evaluation of surgical technologies. Dr. Visscher is best known for her work on improving affordability in complex procedures, notably through her highly cited 2013 paper on innovation in mitral valve disease treatment (50 citations). She has made significant contributions to understanding the real-world financial implications of surgical approaches, particularly through her comparative analyses of open versus robotic sacrocolpopexy. Her 2022 study on perioperative costs following ERAS implementation (4 citations) provides crucial evidence for hospitals weighing the benefits of robotic surgery against its higher upfront costs. By quantifying how ERAS pathways can mitigate cost differences between surgical techniques, Dr. Visscher’s research directly informs clinical decision-making and hospital resource allocation. Her work is essential reading for surgeons, hospital administrators, and health policy researchers seeking to balance technological advancement with fiscal responsibility in women’s health surgery.
