Robotic applications show promise for improving ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgery, including cochlear implantation and endoscopic sinus surgery. Future ENT challenges can be met by microtechnology to enhance precision and patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Robotics in Medicine
  • Surgical Technology
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgery involves frequently performed procedures.
  • Current ENT surgical techniques could potentially be enhanced by robotic applications.
  • This study explores the integration of robotic systems into ENT surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the potential of robotic systems in improving specific ENT surgical operations.
  • To identify currently available robotic technologies applicable to ENT surgery.
  • To propose theoretical robotic solutions for aspects of ENT surgery lacking current technology.

Main Methods:

  • Reviewed currently available robotic systems for potential use in ENT surgery.
  • Focused on robotic applications for cochlear implantation and endoscopic sinus surgery.
