Rate My Professor Ruth Benson

Benson's research specializations encompass vascular and endovascular surgery, with interests in peripheral vascular diseases, carotid endarterectomy, aortic aneurysm, and related clinical challenges such as the vascular impacts of COVID-19. Her publications include 'Prevention of deep venous thrombosis post varicose vein surgery: A survey of current clinical practice in Aotearoa New Zealand' (Lim, E. T. A., Benson, R., & Laws, P., 2026, Phlebology); 'Plasma total neopterin and neopterin levels are significantly elevated in stroke patients before carotid endarterectomy surgery' (Raajasekar, S. et al., 2025, Pteridines); 'Osteoporosis risk scores to predict increased levels of care in older patients undergoing vascular surgery' (Preston, L. et al., 2025, ANZ Journal of Surgery); 'A global survey of follow up Imaging after EVAR reminds us that we are still speaking different languages' (Benson, R. A., 2025, EJVES Vascular Forum); and 'Solutions to reduce inequity for women with abdominal aortic aneurysm' (Williams, T., Benson, R., & Lyons, O. T., 2025, European Journal of Vascular & Endovascular Surgery). Additional works cover vitamin D supplementation in surgical outcomes (2024, BMJ Open) and support for randomized trials in endovascular repair. Through her contributions, Benson advances clinical practices and research in vascular surgery, influencing both academic and healthcare sectors in New Zealand and internationally.
