About
Dr. Kinnie Bourget-Aguilar is a leading otologic surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of neurotology and surgical robotics. Her primary research focuses on preserving vestibular function during cochlear implantation—a critical but often overlooked aspect of hearing restoration. In her landmark 2023 study, "Comparative study of vestibular function preservation in manual versus robotic-assisted cochlear implantation," Dr. Bourget-Aguilar demonstrated that robotic-assisted electrode insertion using the RobOtol© system significantly reduces trauma to the delicate vestibular apparatus compared to traditional manual techniques. This work, already cited 7 times, is reshaping surgical protocols by prioritizing not just hearing outcomes but also balance and quality of life for implant recipients. Her findings have been instrumental in advancing the adoption of robotic precision in otologic surgery, offering patients a safer, more predictable path to hearing restoration. Dr. Bourget-Aguilar’s contributions are paving the way for a new standard of care where technology and surgical finesse converge to minimize collateral damage, making her a pivotal figure in the evolution of cochlear implantation.
