About
J.-L. Bensimon is a leading researcher in otologic surgery and cochlear implantation, with a primary focus on reducing intracochlear trauma and improving surgical outcomes for hearing restoration. His major contributions center on optimizing robotic-assisted techniques for cochlear implant insertion, demonstrating that robot-based methods can significantly reduce array insertion trauma compared to manual techniques. In his highly cited 2018 study (43 citations), he established an optimized robot-based technique that minimizes damage during electrode array placement. His 2017 work (39 citations) critically identified the insertion axis into the basal turn as a key factor in preventing electrode array translocation, a major cause of residual hearing loss. Bensimon’s research has directly influenced surgical protocols by quantifying how insertion angle and trajectory affect scalar location and trauma. His work is foundational for the development of atraumatic cochlear implantation, with implications for preserving natural hearing in patients. Through his innovative use of cone-beam CT and temporal bone studies, Bensimon has advanced the precision of robot-assisted otologic surgery, making him a pivotal figure in modern cochlear implant research.
