Neurosurgeon<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dr.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Carlo Alberto Benech<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Neurosurgery has always been a fundamental part of my DNA. My father, Franco, is also a neurosurgeon, so I have been immersed in this field since my birth on October 31, 1978.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I graduated in Medicine and Surgery from the University of Turin in 2003 and specialized in Modena under the guidance of Dr. Giampietro Pinna, an excellent mentor and physician. I furthered my training at Cornell University in New York, the International Neuroscience Institute in Hannover, the University Hospital of Helsinki, and Saint Louis University, all of which were crucial for my personal and professional growth. Thanks to these experiences and my determination, I received the Young Tumor Investigator Award from the American Brain Tumor Association in 2005 in New Orleans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2009, I returned to Turin to continue my career as a neurosurgeon. That year, I began collaborating with Clinica Fornaca and was hired by the C.T.O. Hospital. Over the years, I developed a keen interest in robotic techniques because innovation must be a moral imperative in our field. Thus, in 2018, I introduced the first robotic system for spinal neurosurgery in Italy, equipped with a robotic arm and GPS navigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, I am the head of the Center for Robotic and Spinal Surgery at Humanitas Cellini in Turin, and I also work in Milan and Rome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
