About
Yasuhiro Morii is a health services researcher whose work centers on the economic evaluation of surgical oncology, with a particular focus on bladder cancer treatment. His major contributions lie in systematically comparing the cost-effectiveness of open, laparoscopic, and robot-assisted radical cystectomy, providing crucial evidence for healthcare decision-making. His most cited paper, a 2019 systematic review of segmental costs, has garnered 27 citations and addresses a critical gap in the literature by analyzing not just total costs but the specific cost components driving differences between surgical approaches. This work is especially valuable for hospitals and policymakers weighing the high upfront costs of robotic surgery against potential benefits. Morii’s research is characterized by rigorous methodology and a clear focus on practical implications, helping to guide resource allocation in urologic oncology. His findings have been influential in shaping discussions around value-based care, demonstrating that cost comparisons must account for institutional factors and patient outcomes. For students and researchers in health economics and surgical oncology, Morii’s work offers a model for translating clinical questions into actionable economic evidence.
