The Microscopic Transcanal Approach in Stapes Surgery Revisited

Georgios Mantokoudis¹, Stefan Weder¹, Lukas Anschuetz¹, Sandra Gunser¹, Urs Borner¹, Marco D. Caversaccio¹

¹Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, lnselspital, Bern University Hospital, University of Bern

This article describes the microscopic transcanal technique for stapes surgery, providing step-by-step surgical instructions for familiarizing surgeons with this approach.

Performing Intracochlear Electrocochleography During Cochlear Implantation

Klaus Schuerch^1,2, Manuel Waser¹, Georgios Mantokoudis¹, Lukas Anschuetz¹, Wilhelm Wimmer^1,2, Marco Caversaccio^1,2, Stefan Weder¹

Electrocochleography (ECochG) measures inner ear potentials generated in response to acoustic stimulation. In cochlear implant (CI) candidates, such inner ear potentials can be measured directly with the implant electrodes. In this video, we systematically explain how to perform ECochG recordings during CI surgery.

¹Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, University of Bern

The present protocol describes a step-by-step guide for the complete endoscopic removal of epitympanic cholesteatoma with different techniques for cholesteatoma dissection and bone removal for epitympanectomy.

In this article, we describe the experimental setup, material, and procedures to assess reflexive eye movements, self-motion perception, and cognitive tasks under magnetic vestibular stimulation, as well as the anatomical orientation of the vestibular organs, in a 7 Tesla Magnetic resonance tomography (7T-MRT) scanner.

Robotic Cochlear Implantation for Direct Cochlear Access

Marco Caversaccio^1,2, Georgios Mantokoudis¹, Franca Wagner³, Philipp Aebischer^1,2, Stefan Weder^1,2, Wilhelm Wimmer^1,2

¹Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, University of Bern, ²Hearing Research Laboratory, ARTORG Center for Biomedical Engineering Research, University of Bern, ³Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Neuroradiology, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital

Robotic cochlear implantation is a procedure for minimally invasive inner ear access. Compared to conventional surgery, robotic cochlear implantation involves additional steps that need to be carried out in the operating room. In this article we give a description of the procedure and highlight the important aspects of robotic cochlear implantation.
