About
Guillaume Michel is a leading researcher at the intersection of otologic surgery and robotics, whose work is defining the next generation of minimally invasive ear and sinus procedures. His primary focus lies in developing robotic systems and endoscope holders specifically designed for the confined, delicate anatomy of the middle ear and paranasal sinuses. A key contribution is the introduction of the RobOtol© system for robotic-assisted cochlear implantation, where his comparative study (7 citations) demonstrated superior preservation of vestibular function compared to manual insertion, marking a significant step forward in patient outcomes. Michel’s foundational work includes a comprehensive workspace analysis for a 2-DOF spherical parallel mechanism tailored to otologic surgery (15 citations), providing critical design parameters for surgical robots. He has also created a geometric atlas of the middle ear and paranasal sinuses (3 citations) to account for patient variability in robotic design. His development of a new robotic endoscope holder with an integrated safety device (9 citations) addresses a critical clinical need, allowing surgeons to operate bimanually. With a growing citation record, Michel’s research is pivotal in translating robotic precision into tangible surgical benefits for otolaryngology.
