About
Georgios Mantokoudis is a pioneering researcher at the forefront of robotic and minimally invasive cochlear implantation, whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of surgical robotics applied to otology and inner ear surgery. His research focuses on developing and clinically validating robotic systems that enable unprecedented precision in cochlear implant procedures, addressing the critical limitations of human dexterity and perception in microsurgery. Mantokoudis made landmark contributions through his early clinical demonstrations of robotic cochlear implantation, with his 2017 work on the first clinical robotic cochlear implantation procedure accumulating 118 citations, and his seminal "Instrument Flight to the Inner Ear" paper garnering 107 citations. His 2019 first-in-man demonstration of robotic middle ear access, cited nearly 100 times, further cemented his influence. Beyond feasibility studies, he has developed population-level safety assessment frameworks and pioneered force-measuring electrode insertion tools designed to preserve patients' residual hearing — an increasingly critical concern as implant candidacy broadens. His cumulative body of work, spanning clinical trials, novel surgical instrumentation, and in-vitro validation studies, has shaped modern protocols for minimally invasive cochlear surgery and continues to influence researchers and clinicians worldwide seeking to improve patient outcomes through surgical automation.
