About
Cooper R. Benson is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on improving surgical outcomes and quality of life for patients undergoing urologic and gynecologic procedures. His research spans two key areas: preventing iatrogenic injuries during benign hysterectomy and optimizing recovery after radical prostatectomy. In his most cited study, a 2018 observational cohort analysis of over 100,000 cases in New York State, Benson identified that bladder and ureteral injuries during benign hysterectomy occur more frequently than previously recognized, with specific patient and procedural risk factors. This work, cited 13 times, has informed surgical safety protocols and training. More recently, Benson has investigated perioperative factors affecting continence recovery after robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). His 2022 study examined how race and comorbidities contribute to delayed return of continence, providing actionable insights for patient counseling and postoperative care. By combining large-scale epidemiological analysis with focused clinical outcomes research, Benson bridges the gap between population-level safety data and individual patient recovery, making his work valuable for both surgeons and patients navigating complex urologic care.
