About

Nigel C. Bennett is a distinguished urological surgeon and researcher whose work has significantly advanced the surgical management of localised prostate cancer. His primary research areas include comparative effectiveness of robotic versus open prostatectomy, surgical outcomes, and quality-of-life metrics in men undergoing treatment for prostate cancer. Bennett’s most notable contribution is his landmark 2012 randomised trial comparing robotic and open prostatectomy, which provided critical evidence on perioperative outcomes and functional recovery. This study, cited 27 times, remains a foundational reference in the ongoing debate over optimal surgical approaches for localised disease. His work has helped shape clinical decision-making by rigorously evaluating the benefits and limitations of robotic surgery in the Australian context. Beyond this trial, Bennett has contributed to broader urological oncology research, emphasising patient-reported outcomes and long-term survivorship. His achievements include leadership in clinical trials and mentorship of emerging urological researchers. With a career dedicated to evidence-based surgical innovation, Bennett continues to influence practice patterns and improve outcomes for men with prostate cancer.
