3D‐Printed Electroanatomic Twins of Cadaveric Cochleae: A Platform for Cochlear Implant Testing
Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 11, Issue 4, August 2026.ABSTRACT Objectives Cochlear implants (CIs) can restore hearing to individuals with severe deafness, yet clinical outcomes vary widely because it remains difficult to predict how electrical currents interact with the unique anatomy of each cochlea. A central challenge in auditory rehabilitation is the lack of experimental systems that capture both the ...

Robotic‐Assisted Epiphrenic and Mid‐Oesophageal Diverticulectomy: A Tertiary Centre Experience
The International Journal of Medical Robotics and Computer Assisted Surgery, Volume 22, Issue 4, August 2026.ABSTRACT Background Surgical management of oesophageal pulsion diverticula is advised when symptoms significantly impair quality of life. Robotics can aid in transhiatal dissection in diverticulectomy, but available evidence is limited. Methods A retrospective chart review of all consecutive robotic‐assisted oesophageal diverticulectomies with Heller ...
