xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader Minimally invasive fully ROBOT‐assisted cochlear implantation in humans: preliminary results in five consecutive patients Via Clinical Otolaryngology Abstract - Cochlear implants are medical devices indispensable for the treatment of severe-to-profound bilateral sensorineural hearing loss - The most commonly used surgical procedure for cochlear implantation involves temporal bone drilling associating mastoidectomy with a facial recess approach - Improvements in robot-assisted surgery since 2010 have raised questions about the possibility of "simplifying" cochlear implant surgery - This study showed that the use of robotic assistance coupled to CT guidance for cochlear implantation is possible and apparently safe for the entire procedure using a Robot that is already available worldwide. - Several improvements are required to optimize this procedure View on the web Inoreader.
