Feasibility and User Experience of a Passive Robotic Endoscope Holding Arm in Various Ear, Nose, and Throat Surgical Procedures: A Single-Center Study
The ENDOFIXexo is a safe and practical tool with the potential to enhance the quality of endoscopic ENT surgery by strongly facilitating bimanual techniques. Its utility is highly valuable in complex or assistant-limited procedures. However, further studies are necessary to strengthen these findings.
