Augmented Reality in minimally invasive otologic surgery and transmodiolar cochlear implantation

2021

Optimal exposure is necessary for minimally invasive otologic surgery. Augmented reality allows to enrich the real environment by adding data without replacing it by a virtual environment and to view this information on a single screen by combining the vision of the operating field and the imaging. This technique is very little described in otology in the literature. This project aims to develop augmented reality solutions for otological surgeries and transmodiolar implantation. To prepare this augmented reality project, we studied the visualization of the middle ear by a virtual endoscope based on preoperative high resolution CT-scans. Then, we worked on the application of augmented realit…
