Edward C. Benzel, MD Chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery at Cleveland Clinic and Professor of Surgery at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University Dr. Benzel’s major clinical interests embrace many aspects of neurosurgery, but are focused on spinal disorders including cervical spondylosis, syringomyelia, complex spine instrumentation and spine tumors. His clinical research has encompassed such issues as hydrocephalus, neonatal hemorrhage, cerebrovascular disorders, cranial trauma, critical care, brain death, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and of course, spinal disorders. From a research perspective, he currently is focusing on Spine biomechanics and clinical research, as well as sports related concussion research. e latter has centered about strategies to reduce risk and increase protection for athletes involved in contact sports. He has been actively involved in the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, American Association of Neurological Surgery, North American Spine Society (NASS), World Spinal Column Society and Cervical Spine Research Society. Dr. Benzel is one of the founding members of the Lumbar Spine Research Society, formed in 2007. He serves on numerous committees, and in multiple di erent positions of the various societies. His continual rigorous review of clinical and research content for several professional neurosurgical and spine publications contributes signi cantly to the body of literature. He was Co-Chairman of the Editorial Review Board of the Journal of Neurosurgery (2003-2004), and is currently Chairman of the Review Board for the Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine. He has served as a reviewer for Neurosurgery, Spine and e Spine Journal, and is an ad hoc reviewer for several other journals. He has authored 10 textbooks, edited 28 texts and contributed to over 370 book chapters. His seminal texts, Biomechanics of Spine Stabilization (1st, 2nd & 3rd Editions) and Spine Surgery: Techniques, Complications, Avoidance and Management (1st, 2nd & 3rd Editions) are conceivably the highlights of his publication endeavors. Dr. Benzel holds ten patents and has participated in many medical advances. He is perhaps best known as an educator. He initiated and directed the Neurosurgery Residency Training Program, and the Spine Fellowship Programs at the University of New Mexico, and has been instrumental in the development and success of these programs at the Cleveland Clinic. His innovations in Neurosurgery Resident Education have won accolades and numerous awards. In February 2011, Dr. Benzel was chosen to receive the Paul C. Bucy Award for his exemplary e orts o ering educational opportunities to his fellow neurosurgeons. Most recently, in 2013, Dr. Benzel was deeply honored by the acknowledgement for his “outstanding contribution to medical science worldwide” at the 13th Congress of Spine Surgery, Sao Paolo Brazil.
