In the last two decades, cochlear implant surgery has evolved into a minimally invasive,
hearing preservation surgical technique. The devices used during surgery have benefited …

Robot-assisted microsurgery (RAMS) has many benefits compared to traditional
microsurgery. Microsurgical platforms with advanced control strategies, high-quality micro …

We describe transnasal skull base surgery, including the current clinical procedure and the
ways in which a robotic system has the potential to enhance the current standard of care …

This letter presents a hybrid concentric tube robot which covers the middle ear volume for
exhaustive ablation of residual cholesteatoma. The proposed robotic system combines a …

Otologic surgical procedures over time have become minimally invasive due to the
development of medicine, microtechniques, and robotics. This trend then provides an …

Purpose Ocular surgery, ear, nose and throat surgery and neurosurgery are typical types of
microsurgery. A versatile training platform can assist microsurgical skills development and …

Objectives The purpose of this study is to experimentally evaluate the use of concentric tube
continuum robots in endonasal skull base tumor removal. This new type of surgical robot …

Purpose Robotic assistance in otologic surgery can reduce the task load of operating
surgeons during the removal of bone around the critical structures in the lateral skull base …

Middle ear surgery involves the smallest and the most fragile bones of the human body.
Since microsurgical gestures and a submillimetric precision are required in these …

Innovations in the field of continuum robotics are enabling increasingly thin and dexterous
slave robots in surgical telemanipulation systems. Actuation of these robots is a challenge …
