About

Benjamin Smith is a leading figure in urogynecology and reconstructive pelvic surgery, with a focused expertise in surgical treatments for pelvic organ prolapse (POP). His major contributions center on comparative effectiveness research, particularly evaluating outcomes of apical prolapse repairs. His most cited work, "Uterosacral Ligament Suspension Versus Robotic Sacrocolpopexy for Treatment of Apical Pelvic Organ Prolapse" (2019), directly addresses a critical clinical question: which surgical approach offers superior outcomes for the more than 10% of women who will undergo reconstructive pelvic surgery in their lifetime. By comparing these two common techniques, Smith provides evidence-based guidance for surgeons and patients navigating treatment decisions. His research has garnered attention within the field, with his work cited in subsequent studies and clinical guidelines. Beyond this landmark paper, Smith’s broader contributions include advancing surgical techniques and patient-centered outcomes in pelvic floor disorders, making him a respected voice in the ongoing effort to improve quality of life for women with POP.
