About
Dr. Mareike Apelt is a leading researcher in the field of otologic and skull base surgery, with a primary focus on enhancing surgical safety through advanced robotics and neural monitoring. Her most-cited work, a 2019 prospective validation study on facial nerve monitoring during robotic drilling, addresses a critical challenge in lateral skull base surgery: preserving the facial nerve during procedures that require a trajectory passing within less than 0.5 mm of the nerve. This research, which has garnered 14 citations, demonstrates the efficacy of a novel stimulation probe designed to prevent nerve damage—a complication that can have devastating effects on a patient’s quality of life. By validating a real-time safety mechanism for robotic cochlear implantation, Dr. Apelt has made a significant contribution to the integration of robotics in otologic surgery, pushing the boundaries of precision and patient safety. Her work is highly relevant for researchers and clinicians seeking to minimize iatrogenic injury in high-risk surgical environments, and it underscores her role as a key innovator in the development of safer, minimally invasive approaches to complex cranial base procedures.
