| Popis: | BACKGROUND Over the last decades conventional cochlear implant (CI) surgery has remained essentially unchanged. Nevertheless, alternative implantation techniques to further improve patient outcomes such as endaural implantation or robot-assisted surgery have been proposed in recent years. However, none of these have gained acceptance in clinical routine, thus confirming a demand for new developments. METHODS Cochlear implant surgery was performed in two mastoid bones obtained from body donors using a novel hands-free exoscope. Advantages and disadvantages of the system were evaluated. RESULTS In all cases, implantation of the electrode was feasible. The system allowed for hands-free movement and adjustment of the exoscope by the head-mounted display. Network connectivity of the system leaves room for improvement. CONCLUSION The RoboticScope is an innovative tool and can be used supportively in conventional CI surgery in the experimental setting. Although operating the device requires a certain learning curve, the usability is intuitive for every ear surgeon. |
