About

Dr. Jinxi Pan is a pioneering otologic surgeon whose research centers on the intersection of robotics and minimally invasive ear surgery, with a primary focus on cochlear implantation and middle ear procedures. Dr. Pan’s most significant contribution is the translation of robot-assisted electrode array insertion from adult to pediatric cochlear implant recipients, a world-first achievement documented in their landmark 2021 study (28 citations). This work demonstrated that robotic systems can reduce intracochlear trauma and improve placement precision in children, a population where anatomical constraints pose unique challenges. In their foundational 2020 study (7 citations), Dr. Pan established that otological robots eliminate human tremor and enhance micromanipulation accuracy, enabling full tympanic scala insertion—a critical factor for preserving residual hearing and optimizing auditory outcomes. Further expanding the field, Dr. Pan investigated the thermal safety of endoscopic robotic surgery in the middle ear (2021, 5 citations), addressing a key safety concern for combining robotic assistance with endoscopic approaches. By systematically validating robotic systems for both pediatric cochlear implantation and endoscopic ear surgery, Dr. Pan’s work has laid the groundwork for safer, more precise surgical interventions that promise to transform hearing restoration and reduce surgical trauma.
