Cochlear implant electrode arrays are designed with specific characteristics that allow for
the preservation of intra-cochlear structures during the insertion process, as well as during …

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 …

Background: Variability in CI outcomes exists across patients, implant centers, surgeons,
and electrode types. While surgical techniques that reduce electrode insertion trauma are …

Cochlear implant insertion should be as least traumatic as possible in order to reduce
trauma to the cochlear sensory structures. The force applied to the cochlea during array …

The electrode array of a cochlear implant forms a permanent, often lifelong interface
between the implanted electronics and neural structures of the cochlea. A cochlear implant …

Purpose Automated insertion of electrode arrays (EA) in cochlear implant surgery is
presumed to be less traumatic than manual insertions, but no tool is widely available in the …

Abstract Introduction: Cochlear implants (CIs) are commonly used for the rehabilitation of
profound bilateral hearing loss. However, patients with substantial residual acoustic hearing …

Purpose Latest research on cochlear implantations focuses on hearing preservation during
insertion of the implant's electrode array by reducing insertion trauma. One parameter which …

Background: Few studies assessed the relationship between the insertion axis and the
electrode scalar location. Methods: Preimplantation cone-beam CT (CBCT) was performed …

Background: As an advanced surgical technique to reduce trauma to the inner ear, robot-
assisted electrode array (EA) insertion has been applied in adult cochlear implantation (CI) …
