Abstract | During cochlear implantation, hearing preservation is a concern. Minimizing disturbances to the cochlea and protection of the underlying endosteal membrane during the formation of a cochleostomy are considered important factors. The robotic micro-drill system tested in this article is the first example of an autonomous surgical drill successfully producing a cochleostomy, which keeps the underlying endosteal membrane intact. This study compares induced disturbances within the cochlea during formation of cochleostomy using the robotic micro-drill with that of conventional manual drilling. The disturbance of the endosteal membrane is measured using a Microscope Scanning Vibrometer at a third window, produced in the cochlea. Results show that the highest velocity amplitude measured was associated with manual drilling technique. The robotic micro-drill technique produced only about 1% of the peak velocity amplitude seen in manual drilling and exhibited much more uniform behaviour, while keeping the underlying membrane intact. The technique applied when using the robotic drill could be a major step in reducing the trauma to the cochlea, by reducing disturbance levels. |
