About

Sonya Cnossen’s research centers on perioperative risk assessment in urological surgery, with a particular focus on age-related outcomes. Her most-cited work, a 2018 historical cohort study using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality database, provides critical insights into age-stratified perioperative mortality after urological procedures. This study, which has garnered 8 citations, addresses the growing need for evidence-based counseling as more elderly patients seek surgical consultations. By systematically quantifying mortality risks across different age groups, Cnossen’s work directly informs patient selection and shared decision-making in urological practice. Her research bridges a vital gap between clinical epidemiology and surgical care, offering actionable data for surgeons managing increasingly older patient populations. Though early in her career, Cnossen’s focused contributions to risk stratification demonstrate a commitment to improving surgical safety and personalized preoperative counseling. Her work serves as a foundational reference for clinicians navigating the complexities of geriatric urological surgery.
