Abstract
<b><br>Aim:</b> The aim of this study was to present the case with a difficult anatomy of the middle ear, in which robot-assisted cochlear implantation via a modified pericanal approach was performed.</br> <b><br>Case report:</b> The patient, a a 63-year-old male, had passed the typical procedure of qualifying for a cochlear implant at our center. However, the preoperative CT of the temporal bones showed a very anterior position of the sigmoid sinus and a very low position of the middle fossa dura in the right ear qualified for cochlear implantation. For this reason, the pericanal approach described by Häusler was chosen. The surgery was performed with the use of a surgical robot - the RobOtol (Collin, Bagneux, France) and the approach was slightly modified. The whole procedure was described in detail in the manuscript. Postoperative CT of the temporal bones confirmed the proper intracochlear position of the electrode array. Both surgery and healing were uneventful.</br> <b><br>Conclusions:</b> The RobOtol surgical robot allows for the correct and safe insertion of the cochlear implant electrode array in patients with unusual anatomical conditions and approach to the cochlea.</br>.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
