A novel, tissue-selective burr for temporal bone drilling
The SB is a feasible alternative for TB drilling and provides soft-tissue protection. The absence of jumping contributed to superior handling and controllability of the burr. Further clinical studies are needed to comprehensively assess the tissue selectivity and its limitations in otological TB drilling.
