About
Dr. Armonde A. Baghdanian is a urologic surgeon and health services researcher whose work sits at the critical intersection of surgical quality, cost-effectiveness, and patient outcomes. Her research primarily focuses on evaluating how variations in surgical practice—particularly in supply utilization and operative technique—impact both hospital economics and patient recovery. In her most cited work, she led a retrospective study examining the relationship between surgical supply cost variation during partial nephrectomy and subsequent patient outcomes, revealing that significant cost disparities between surgeons did not correlate with worse clinical results. This finding challenges assumptions about the necessity of high-cost supplies and has important implications for value-based care in urologic oncology. While her citation count is still growing, Dr. Baghdanian’s contributions are notable for their practical relevance to hospital administrators and surgeons seeking to reduce expenditures without compromising care. Her research exemplifies the growing field of surgical health economics, providing evidence that cost-conscious practice can align with high-quality patient outcomes.
