Robotic cochlear implantation in post-meningitis ossified cochlea.

American journal of otolaryngology
AIM: To report the experience of an image-guided and navigation-based robot arm as an assistive surgical tool for cochlear implantation in a case with a labyrinthitis ossificans.

Robotic Cochlear Implantation for Direct Cochlear Access.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
Robot-assisted systems offer great potential for gentler and more precise cochlear implantation. In this article, we provide a comprehensive overview of the clinical workflow for robotic cochlear implantation using a robotic system specifically devel...

Robot-assisted cochlear implant surgery in a patient with partial ossification of the basal cochlear turn: A technical note.

Clinical otolaryngology : official journal of ENT-UK ; official journal of Netherlands Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology & Cervico-Facial Surgery

Robotics, automation, active electrode arrays, and new devices for cochlear implantation: A contemporary review.

Hearing research
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 from technological advances that have allowed modification and possible i...

3D printed biomimetic cochleae and machine learning co-modelling provides clinical informatics for cochlear implant patients.

Nature communications
Cochlear implants restore hearing in patients with severe to profound deafness by delivering electrical stimuli inside the cochlea. Understanding stimulus current spread, and how it correlates to patient-dependent factors, is hampered by the poor acc...

Unifying information theory and machine learning in a model of electrode discrimination in cochlear implants.

PloS one
Despite the development and success of cochlear implants over several decades, wide inter-subject variability in speech perception is reported. This suggests that cochlear implant user-dependent factors limit speech perception at the individual level...

Atraumatic Insertion of a Cochlear Implant Pre-Curved Electrode Array by a Robot-Automated Alignment with the Coiling Direction of the Scala Tympani.

Audiology & neuro-otology
INTRODUCTION: Electrode array translocation is an unpredictable event with all types of arrays, even using a teleoperated robot in a clinical scenario. We aimed to compare the intracochlear trauma produced by the HiFocus™ Mid-Scala (MS) electrode arr...

The Use of a Robot to Insert an Electrode Array of Cochlear Implants in the Cochlea: A Feasibility Study and Preliminary Results.

Audiology & neuro-otology
INTRODUCTION: Cochlear implants (CIs) are commonly used for the rehabilitation of profound bilateral hearing loss. However, patients with substantial residual acoustic hearing are potential CI candidates. Because of both improvements in technology an...

Acceptance of patients towards task-autonomous robotic cochlear implantation: An exploratory study.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Recently, task-autonomous image-guided robotic cochlear implantation has been successfully completed in patients. However, no data exist on patients' perspective of this new technology. The aim of this study was to evaluate the acceptance...

Machine learning for pattern detection in cochlear implant FDA adverse event reports.

Cochlear implants international
Medical device performance and safety databases can be analyzed for patterns and novel opportunities for improving patient safety and/or device design. The objective of this analysis was to use supervised machine learning to explore patterns in rep...
