About

M. Benmekhbi is a leading neurosurgeon and researcher specializing in stereotactic and functional neurosurgery, with a particular focus on drug-resistant epilepsy and pediatric brain tumors. Their major contributions center on advancing frameless robotic-assisted techniques for precision brain interventions, demonstrating that these methods offer comparable or superior efficacy and safety to traditional frame-based approaches. In their seminal 2017 study on stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) for epilepsy, Benmekhbi established the reliability of robotic guidance in mapping epileptogenic zones, a work that has garnered 40 citations. They further pioneered the use of frameless robotic biopsy for diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPG) in children—a notoriously difficult-to-access tumor—showing that the technique is both feasible and safe, with 29 citations. Their 2021 prospective study on 526 biopsies, comparing frameless robotic and image-guided surgery systems, pushed the boundaries of accuracy and reliability, earning 24 citations. Benmekhbi’s work has not only expanded the surgical toolkit for complex neurological conditions but has also set new standards for minimally invasive, high-precision stereotactic procedures, making them a key figure in the evolution of modern neurosurgery.
