About

Nicole Segalini is a researcher whose work critically examines the intersection of surgical innovation, ethics, and transparency. Her primary research areas include hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, robotics in medicine, and conflicts of interest in surgical studies. Segalini’s most notable contribution is her landmark paper, "The undisclosed disclosures: Conflicts of interest in studies related to robotics in hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery" (2022), which has garnered 9 citations—a significant impact for a focused ethical analysis. In this work, she systematically investigates undisclosed financial ties in robotic surgery research, revealing how industry relationships can bias outcomes and undermine patient safety. This study has been instrumental in prompting discussions about disclosure standards and methodological rigor in surgical literature. Segalini’s research is particularly valuable for students and clinicians navigating the rapidly evolving field of robotic-assisted surgery, as it provides a critical framework for evaluating evidence. Her work underscores the importance of transparency in medical research, making her a key voice in surgical ethics. By highlighting potential conflicts, she empowers researchers to demand higher integrity in studies that shape clinical practice.
