About
Zhamak Khorgami is a leading researcher in surgical outcomes and health economics, with a focus on the cost-effectiveness of modern surgical techniques. Her work critically examines the financial implications of robotic-assisted versus laparoscopic surgery, providing essential data for healthcare decision-making. Khorgami’s most influential study, “The cost of robotics: an analysis of the added costs of robotic-assisted versus laparoscopic surgery using the National Inpatient Sample” (2018), has garnered 124 citations, establishing a benchmark for understanding the economic burden of robotic technology in minor and major procedures. Her 2017 analysis of bariatric surgery costs, with 91 citations, further highlights factors driving increased expenses in obesity treatment, offering insights for policy and practice. By leveraging large national datasets, Khorgami’s research empowers surgeons and administrators to balance innovation with fiscal responsibility. Her contributions are vital for students and researchers exploring surgical value, healthcare resource allocation, and the real-world costs of technological adoption in medicine.
