About
Dr. Tara Dogra is a health services researcher and urological surgeon whose work focuses on the economic evaluation of surgical techniques, particularly in the treatment of bladder cancer. Her major contributions lie in comparing the costs and resource utilization of robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) versus open radical cystectomy (ORC). In her most-cited study (39 citations), she conducted a detailed cost analysis at a UK tertiary referral centre, identifying key cost drivers such as operative time, length of hospital stay, and transfusion rates. This work provides crucial evidence for healthcare decision-makers weighing the benefits of robotic surgery against its higher upfront costs. Her follow-up study (10 citations) further refines these findings, reinforcing the importance of institutional context in cost-effectiveness. Dr. Dogra’s research has been instrumental in guiding surgical practice and resource allocation in urology, offering a data-driven perspective on the financial implications of adopting advanced surgical technologies. Her work is essential reading for clinicians, hospital administrators, and health policy researchers seeking to balance clinical outcomes with economic sustainability.
