About
Benjamin O. Patterson is a clinical researcher and urologic surgeon whose work focuses on post-surgical vascular complications, particularly following robotic radical prostatectomy. His most cited contribution, a 2007 case report, documents the first known instance of a pseudoaneurysm arising from an accessory internal pudendal artery after this procedure. In this landmark study, Patterson and his team demonstrated the successful use of CT angiography for precise diagnosis and embolization for management, establishing a critical protocol for identifying and treating delayed hemorrhage—a rare but serious complication. The work, cited 20 times, has informed surgical practices around vesicourethral anastomosis technique, specifically the use of continuous 3-0 Monocryl sutures tied at the six o'clock position. Patterson’s research bridges the gap between operative technique and postoperative imaging, offering urologists and interventional radiologists a clear framework for managing vascular injuries. His case report remains a key reference in the literature on robotic prostatectomy complications, underscoring his role in advancing patient safety through meticulous documentation and interdisciplinary collaboration.
