Atraumatic Surgical Approaches to the Vestibular Labyrinth Allowing for Drug Delivery, Cochleovestibular Implants, and Other New Surgical Applications
3D reconstruction by segmentation of the inner ear with superposition of CT images and an anatomical model is feasible and offers valuable morphological insight into the complex anatomy of the inner ear. This technique is particularly useful for exploring potential new surgical approaches to access the vestibule and shows promising results in the context of future local drug delivery and/or direct electrical stimulation at the vestibular level. Three such approaches were proposed and preliminarily assessed.
