Clinal Evaluation of Navigation Based Functional Ear Surgery Using Image Guided and Robotically Assisted Techniques

Overview

To assess the feasibility of achieving a minimally invasive access to the inner ear through the navigation-based HEARO procedure and subsequently insert the electrode array of the cochlear implant through the access.

* Demonstrate the feasibility and efficacy of performing a middle and inner ear access for cochlear implantation procedures in adults. * Validate the procedure workflow including imaging, planning, safety assessment, image to patient registration, robotic drilling, electrode insertion and device implantation. * Validate the system and procedure safety mechanisms. * Collect required data for validation of safety algorithms and procedure workflow optimisation. * Validate the HEARO system.
