About
Jan Hermann is a pioneering researcher in robotic otologic surgery, with a primary focus on robotic cochlear implantation and minimally invasive inner ear access. His landmark 2019 study, "Robotic middle ear access for cochlear implantation: First in man" (97 citations), demonstrated the clinical feasibility of robotic keyhole access to the tympanic cavity in nine adult patients with severe-to-profound hearing loss, marking a significant translational milestone. Hermann further advanced the field through image-based planning for minimally traumatic inner ear access (2021, 13 citations) and initial clinical neuromonitoring during robotic procedures (2018, 22 citations). His work extends to pediatric applications, showing feasibility in subject-specific phantoms (2019, 8 citations), and includes innovative multiport approaches for robotic cochlear implantation. Additionally, Hermann has contributed to image-guided force classification for robotized intravitreal injections and customizable thermal ablation volumes. With a career defined by translating robotic precision from bench to bedside, his research has fundamentally shaped the trajectory of image-guided otologic surgery, offering new hope for patients requiring cochlear implantation.
