Title
Cochlear size assessment predicts scala tympani volume and electrode insertion force- implications in robotic assisted cochlear implant surgery
Author
Abstract
Objectives: The primary aim was to measure the volume of the scala tympani (ST) and the length of the straight portion of the cochlear basal turn from micro-computed tomography (μCT) images. The secondary aim was to estimate the electrode insertion force based on cochlear size and insertion speed. Both of these objectives have a direct clinical relevance in robotic assisted cochlear implant (CI) surgery.
