About

Marine Veleur is a pioneering surgeon-researcher at the intersection of otology and robotic technology, whose work is reshaping the landscape of middle ear surgery. Her primary research focuses on developing and validating robotic assistance for minimally invasive ear procedures, particularly endoscopic middle ear surgery. Veleur’s most cited work, a 2021 study on robot-assisted middle ear endoscopic surgery involving 37 patients, addresses a critical challenge in the field: the inherent difficulty of performing two-handed surgical gestures with a single-handed endoscope. By demonstrating that robotic assistance can restore bimanual dexterity and improve surgical accuracy, she has provided a foundational proof-of-concept for integrating robotics into otologic practice. This contribution is especially significant for surgeons transitioning from traditional binocular microscopy to single-handed endoscopic techniques. While her citation count is still growing, her work represents a vital step toward safer, more precise ear surgeries, potentially reducing complications and improving patient outcomes. Veleur’s research bridges engineering and clinical medicine, offering a tangible solution to a long-standing ergonomic and technical problem in otology.
