    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Neurosurgery
    • Audiology

    Background:

    • Cochlear implants are crucial for severe hearing loss patients.
    • Current surgical techniques lack tactile feedback, risking cochlear damage.
    • No intra-operative force feedback systems are commercially available.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a novel intra-operative force sensor for cochlear implant surgery.
    • To enable real-time force measurement during electrode insertion.
    • To prevent damage to delicate cochlear structures and preserve residual hearing.

    Main Methods:

    • A custom-made sensor was designed and integrated into a cochlear implant electrode array.
    • The sensor was tested for its ability to measure contact forces below the cochlear rupture threshold.
    • Experimental validation focused on force sensitivity and accuracy.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed sensor successfully measured contact forces below the cochlear internal structure's rupture threshold.
    • Real-time force readings were achievable during simulated insertion.
    • The sensor demonstrated capability for precise force detection.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed sensor can provide essential intra-operative force feedback during cochlear implant surgery.
    • This technology has the potential to enhance surgical safety and improve patient outcomes.
    • Further clinical integration is recommended to validate efficacy in real-world scenarios.
