Biography

Full professor of the pulpit of Human anatomy of the catholic University of Leuwen, it is there also chief of the department of experimental morphology.

Being interested in the beginning of its studies of medicine with morphology of the Face, it completes many research tasks on the embryonic development of the cranium, the growth of the face and the modifications of the face during the ageing, of which it treats in its thesis of aggregation and its inaugural lesson.

Continuing in addition a formation of surgeon plastics technician, it carries out in 1991 a stay as intern in the service of maxillo-facial Chirurgie of CHU of Amiens, where it meets Bernard Devauchelle and Sylvie Testelin. With his colleagues, it develops several novel methods then aiming at rebuilding by Microchirurgie specific parts of the head and Cou, like the Larynx and the lower Lèvre. Together, they conclude however that the results obtained by these autotransplantations are imperfect and put forward the idea that a Allogreffe of face could be used to repair patients suffering from severe disfigurations.

The November 26th 2005, Benoit Lengelé realizes thus with Bernard Devauchelle and Sylvie Testelin in Amiens the first allogreffe partial of the face to repair the mutilated face of Isabelle Dinoire, an young woman seriously bitten by a dog having torn off the nose to him, the lips and the chin.

Benoit Lengelé is moreover an artist of talent, so that the review Leuwen , making of him the Belgian scientific personality of the year 2006, describes it like “the Master of the Art of the Portrait”.
