Comparison on intracochlear disturbances between drilling a manual and robotic cochleostomy

The reported work is on an innovative single function robotic surgical tool and reports the atraumatic nature of the device in use with respect to the hearing organ. The contrast with intracochlear disturbances when drilling manually illustrates the significance. This evidence is to assist the end users; the global company Cochlear (Australia-j.dalton@cochlear.com) and a surgeon team in Birmingham, listed as authors, to exploit the system more widely in practice. The technique offers consistent results in practice. There is a world-wide patent on the system (US 8,463,421) and the IP is currently under license with the manufacturer Sapere Systems (Fiona.marston@dial.pipex.com).
