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 …

Medical robots have been widely used to assist surgeons to carry out dexterous surgical
tasks via various ways. Most of the tasks require surgeon's operation directly or indirectly …

Conclusions Seven factors were found to have a significant effect on hearing preservation:
insertion site, progressive versus stable hearing loss, insertion angle of electrode, use of …

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 …

Background: Perimodiolar electrodes have been proven to be effective in reducing insertion
forces. However, the dedicated techniques of atraumatic electrode insertion require …

Purpose Automated insertion of electrode arrays (EA) in cochlear implant surgery is
presumed to be less traumatic than manual insertions, but no tool is widely available in the …

Objective: Robotic cochlear implant electrode array insertion offers substantial potential
advantages, namely repeatability and minimization of insertion forces, leading to decreased …

Background Whether intracochlear trauma and translocations are two factors that may
contribute to significant variability in CI outcomes remains to be seen. To address this issue …
