Hypothesis: Using image-guided surgical techniques, we propose that an industrial robot can be programmed to safely, effectively, and efficiently perform a mastoidectomy.
Background: Whereas robotics is a mature field in many surgical applications, robots have yet to be clinically used in otologic surgery despite significant advantages including reliability and precision.
Methods: We designed a robotic system that incorporates custom software with an industrial robot to manipulate a surgical drill through a complex milling profile.
