Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-New research on Implant Technology-C ochlear Implants is the subject of a report. According to news reporting origina ting from Brussels, Belgium, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "Robot-a ssisted cochlear implant surgery (RACIS) as defined by the HEARO®procedure perf orms minimal invasive cochlear implant (CI) surgery by directly drilling a keyho le trajectory towards the inner ear. Hitherto, an entirely robotic automation in cluding electrode insertion has not been described yet." Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from University Hospital UZ Brussel, "The feasability of using a newly developed, dedicated motorised device for automated electrode insertion in the first clinical case of entirely roboti c cochlear implant surgery was investigated. The aim is to report the first expe rience of entirely robotic cochlear implantation surgery. RACIS with a straight flexible lateral wall electrode. Electrode cochlear insertion depth. The audiolo gical outcome in terms of mean hearing thresholds. Here, we report on a cochlear implant robot that performs the most complex surgical steps to place a cochlear implant array successfully in the inner ear and render similar audiological res ults as in conventional surgery."
