About
N. Grössmann is a leading health technology assessment researcher whose work critically examines the real-world benefits of advanced surgical innovations. Her primary research areas focus on evidence-based surgery, systematic review methodology, and the comparative effectiveness of robot-assisted technologies. Her most notable contribution is a landmark 2024 systematic review on robot-assisted surgery (RAS) in thoracic and visceral indications, which has already garnered 12 citations—a strong indicator of its rapid influence. In this work, Grössmann systematically evaluated the evidence behind RAS, challenging assumptions about its superiority over standard care. She revealed that despite widespread adoption and promises of shorter hospital stays and fewer complications, the actual patient benefits remain surprisingly unclear. This rigorous analysis has become essential reading for surgeons, policymakers, and health economists navigating the adoption of costly robotic platforms. Grössmann’s work exemplifies the critical role of health technology assessment in ensuring that surgical innovation translates into genuine patient value, not just technological hype. Her research continues to shape how the medical community evaluates emerging surgical technologies.
