Benjamin Warf is an American pediatric neurosurgeon.[1] Warf was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship in 2012.

Work and career
Warf is Professor of Neurosurgery at Harvard Medical School and holds the Hydrocephalus and Spina Bifida Chair at Boston Children's Hospital, where he serves as Director of Neonatal and Congenital Anomalies Neurosurgery. He also serves as Affiliate Faculty in the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine and the Program in Global Surgery and Social Change at Harvard Medical School. Warf is Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Neuro Kids, a nonprofit that advocates for the treatment of children with neurological disorders in under-served areas around the world.[2] He also serves on the Global Experts Panel of the International Federation for Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus and was the founding Executive Committee Chair of the PUSH! Global Alliance.[3]

Warf grew up in Pikeville, Kentucky, where his father was a pastor. After graduating from Harvard Medical School in 1984, Warf completed his neurosurgical residency training at Case Western University in 1991, and was the first Fellow in Pediatric Neurosurgery at Boston Children's Hospital from 1991 to 1992. He joined the faculty of University of Kentucky College of Medicine in 1992, where he served as Chief of Pediatric Neurosurgery and Director of Surgical Education until 2000.

In 2000, Warf moved his wife and 6 children to Uganda to help establish the only pediatric neurosurgery specialty hospital in sub-Saharan Africa. There, he served as Medical Director and Chief of Surgery until 2006. The hospital remains a part of the CURE International network of surgical specialty hospitals. While there, Warf pioneered a novel treatment for infant hydrocephalus using a minimally invasive endoscopic technique (ETV/CPC) that greatly reduces the number of children requiring implantation of and lifelong dependence on ventriculoperitoneal shunts.

This is a low-cost, low-risk alternative to the typical treatment for hydrocephalus.[4] This procedure is known as an ETV/CPC, a combination of endoscopic third ventriculostomy and choroid plexus cauterization,[5] which is now being performed in major children's medical centers throughout North America and internationally. In addition, Warf was the first to demonstrate neonatal ventriculitis as the single most common cause of infant hydrocephalus in that part of the world.

Warf is a recipient of the Humanitarian Award from the American Association of Neurological Surgeons and, in 2012, was named a MacArthur Fellow.[6]

本杰明-沃夫（Benjamin Warf）是美国小儿神经外科医生。[1] 沃夫于2012年获得麦克阿瑟奖学金。

工作和职业
沃夫是哈佛医学院的神经外科教授，并在波士顿儿童医院担任脑积水和脊柱裂讲座，他在那里担任新生儿和先天性畸形神经外科的主任。他还担任哈佛医学院全球健康和社会医学系以及全球外科和社会变革项目的附属教师。Warf是Neuro Kids的董事会主席，Neuro Kids是一个非营利组织，倡导在世界各地服务不足的地区治疗神经系统疾病的儿童。[2] 他还在国际脊柱裂和脑积水联合会的全球专家小组任职，是PUSH! 全球联盟的创始执行委员会主席[3] 。

沃夫在肯塔基州的皮克维尔长大，他的父亲是一位牧师。1984年从哈佛医学院毕业后，沃夫于1991年在凯斯西大学完成了他的神经外科住院医师培训，并在1991年至1992年成为波士顿儿童医院小儿神经外科的第一位研究员。他于1992年加入肯塔基大学医学院，在那里他担任小儿神经外科主任和外科教育主任，直到2000年。

2000年，沃夫将他的妻子和6个孩子带到乌干达，帮助建立撒哈拉以南非洲唯一的小儿神经外科专科医院。在那里，他担任医疗主任和外科主任直至2006年。该医院仍然是CURE国际外科专科医院网络的一部分。在那里，沃夫开创了一种使用微创内窥镜技术（ETV/CPC）治疗婴儿脑积水的新方法，大大减少了需要植入脑室腹腔分流器的儿童数量和对其的终身依赖。

这是一种低成本、低风险的脑积水典型治疗方法。[4] 这种手术被称为ETV/CPC，是内镜下第三脑室造口术和脉络丛烧灼术的结合，[5] 目前在北美和国际上的主要儿童医疗中心都在进行。此外，Warf是第一个证明新生儿脑室炎是世界上该地区婴儿脑积水的唯一最常见原因。

沃夫是美国神经外科医生协会人道主义奖的获得者，并在2012年被任命为麦克阿瑟研究员[6] 。
