About
Carlo Alberto Benech is a spine surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the forefront of robotic-assisted and computer-navigated spinal surgery. His research has made significant contributions to understanding and advancing the precision of pedicle and cortical screw placement — a critical determinant of surgical outcomes in spinal procedures. Benech's landmark 2019 study, which evaluated the first 54 cases of navigated robotic assistance in spine surgery, demonstrated that combining robotic guidance with CT-based navigation yields markedly improved screw accuracy and positive clinical results, earning the paper 58 citations and establishing it as an important reference in the field. Building on this foundation, his subsequent multicenter retrospective study identified the key variables influencing robot-assisted pedicle screw accuracy, offering surgeons actionable insights for optimizing technique. His 2022 quantitative analysis of 726 pedicle screws further solidified the evidence base for rigid robotic arm systems. Collectively, Benech's body of work has helped shape the adoption of robotic spine surgery internationally, providing both clinicians and trainees with rigorous data to guide safer, more precise surgical practice.
