About

Dr. Benjamin May is a leading voice in gynecologic surgery, with a focused expertise in hysterectomy outcomes and postoperative complications. His most-cited work, "Hysterectomy Trends and Risk of Vaginal Cuff Dehiscence: An Update by Mode of Surgery" (2023, 18 citations), provides a critical, data-driven analysis of how different surgical approaches—including laparoscopic, robotic, and vaginal—influence the risk of vaginal cuff dehiscence. This research has become a key reference for surgeons seeking to balance procedural innovation with patient safety, offering evidence-based guidance on minimizing serious complications. Dr. May’s contributions are particularly notable for their practical impact: by clarifying trends in surgical practice, he helps clinicians make informed decisions that directly improve recovery and reduce reoperation rates. His work is widely cited in clinical guidelines and surgical training curricula, reflecting its importance in shaping modern gynecologic care. For students and researchers, Dr. May’s research exemplifies how rigorous outcome analysis can translate into safer, more effective surgical standards.
