Robot-based assistance in middle ear surgery and cochlear implantation: first clinical report.

European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery
PURPOSE: Middle ear surgery may benefit from robot-based assistance to hold micro-instruments or an endoscope. However, the surgical gesture performed by one hand may perturb surgeons accustomed to two-handed surgery. A robot-based holder may combine...

Cochlear implant telemedicine: Remote fitting based on psychoacoustic self-tests and artificial intelligence.

Cochlear implants international
This study aims to assess the feasibility of autonomous cochlear implant (CI) fitting by adult CI recipients based on psychoacoustic self-testing and artificial intelligence (AI). A feasibility study was performed on six adult CI recipients implant...

Optimal path generation in scala tympani and path planning for robotic cochlear implant of perimodiolar electrode.

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H, Journal of engineering in medicine
In this study, a new idea of the optimal path generation method was proposed and a path planning strategy for robotic cochlear implant of perimodiolar electrode was designed. The centerline of scala tympani channel was taken as the optimal implant pa...

Multi-Scale deep learning framework for cochlea localization, segmentation and analysis on clinical ultra-high-resolution CT images.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Performing patient-specific, pre-operative cochlea CT-based measurements could be helpful to positively affect the outcome of cochlear surgery in terms of intracochlear trauma and loss of residual hearing. Therefore, we prop...

HeadLocNet: Deep convolutional neural networks for accurate classification and multi-landmark localization of head CTs.

Medical image analysis
Cochlear implants (CIs) are used to treat subjects with hearing loss. In a CI surgery, an electrode array is inserted into the cochlea to stimulate auditory nerves. After surgery, CIs need to be programmed. Studies have shown that the cochlea-electro...

The design and validation of a hybrid digital-signal-processing plug-in for traditional cochlear implant speech processors.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Cochlear implants (CIs) are electronic devices restoring partial hearing to deaf individuals with profound hearing loss. In this paper, a new plug-in for traditional IIR filter-banks (FBs) is presented for cochlear implants ...

Robotic cochlear implantation: surgical procedure and first clinical experience.

Acta oto-laryngologica
CONCLUSION: A system for robotic cochlear implantation (rCI) has been developed and a corresponding surgical workflow has been described. The clinical feasibility was demonstrated through the conduction of a safe and effective rCI procedure.
