Area of Science:

Otolaryngology
Neurosurgery
Biomedical Engineering

Background:

Hearing preservation cochlear implantation aims to maintain residual acoustic hearing.
Manual electrode array insertion can be challenging, potentially impacting hearing outcomes.
Intraoperative electrocochleography (ECochG) provides real-time feedback on cochlear function.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the feasibility of combining robotics-assisted electrode array (EA) insertion with intraoperative ECochG.
To assess the safety and efficacy of this combined approach in hearing preservation cochlear implant surgery.

Main Methods:

Prospective, single-arm, open-label study at a tertiary referral center.
Twenty-one adult patients with residual hearing underwent unilateral cochlear implantation.
Robotics-assisted EA insertion device and concurrent intraoperative ECochG were utilized.

Main Results:

Twenty-two electrode arrays were successfully implanted using the robotic system and ECochG.
Robotic insertion allowed for fine control and adjustments based on real-time ECochG feedback.
Patients demonstrated stable pure-tone averages post-implantation with normal device function.

Conclusions:

The combination of robotics-assisted EA insertion and intraoperative ECochG is a feasible and potentially advantageous technique.
This approach may help surgeons overcome manual insertion limitations and optimize hearing preservation.
Real-time cochlear feedback during surgery can guide electrode placement for better outcomes.
