The first dedicated ear-surgery robot
RobOtol® is the outcome of research work begun ten years ago by the team of Professor Olivier Sterkers – ENT specialists, scientists at the Inserm/UPMC UMR-S 1159 unit (including two CIFRE doctoral theses), and engineers – in partnership with Collin,a French SME specializing in the ENT field.
The RobOtol® is designed to move and extend along several axes, ensuring that the system can serve as a multi-purpose otological tool.
Today more and more ENT groups are developing endoscopic ear surgery in addition to or as a substitute for all or part of surgical procedures using a microscope.
The optical system holder function leaves the surgeon free to use both hands for endoscopic ear surgery.
