In the last two decades, cochlear implant surgery has evolved into a minimally invasive,
hearing preservation surgical technique. The devices used during surgery have benefited …

Objectives: Recent advancements in robotics have set forth a growing body of evidence for
the clinical application of the robotic cochlear implantation (RCI), with many potential …

To demonstrate the feasibility of robotic middle ear access in a clinical setting, nine adult
patients with severe-to-profound hearing loss indicated for cochlear implantation were …

Image-guided and robot-assisted surgeries have found their applications in skullbase
surgery. Technological improvements in terms of accuracy also opened new opportunities …

Objective This study investigates the accuracy of an automated method to rapidly segment
relevant temporal bone anatomy from cone beam computed tomography (CT) images …

Cochlear-implant electrode arrays (EAs) must be inserted accurately and precisely to avoid
damaging the delicate anatomical structures of the inner ear. It has previously been shown …

Purpose Minimally invasive surgery is often built upon a time-consuming preoperative step
consisting of segmentation and trajectory planning. At the temporal bone, a complete …

Objectives In cochlear implantation, preoperative prediction of electrode position has
recently gained increasing attention. Currently, planning is usually done by multislice CT …

Purpose The main objective of this study is to evaluate the short-term and long-term
audiological outcomes in patients who underwent cochlear implantation with a robot …

Incomplete partition type III (IP-III) is a relatively rare inner ear malformation that has been
associated with a POU3F4 gene mutation. The IP-III anomaly is mainly characterized by …
