About
Lloyd Brandts is a health economist and outcomes researcher whose work centers on the cost-effectiveness and resource utilization of pediatric surgical interventions. His most notable contribution is a detailed cost analysis of four surgical techniques for pediatric inguinal hernia repair, published in 2025. This study, which has already garnered citations, provides critical evidence that Percutaneous Internal Ring Suturing (PIRS) offers the lowest operating room costs, while robot-assisted hernia repair incurs the highest expenses—primarily driven by prolonged anesthesia time due to robotic docking procedures. Brandts’ work further highlights that non-operating room costs are significantly influenced by patient characteristics, offering actionable insights for hospital budgeting and surgical decision-making. By quantifying these economic trade-offs, his research helps clinicians and administrators balance clinical outcomes with financial sustainability. Though early in his citation trajectory, Brandts’ focused, data-driven approach positions him as a rising voice in pediatric surgical health economics, with implications for both Dutch healthcare policy and broader international practice.
