About

N. Saroul is a pioneering surgeon-researcher at the intersection of otology, neuroradiology, and robotic surgery, with a primary focus on advancing cochlear implantation techniques. His most impactful work centers on integrating real-time fluoroscopic guidance with robotic-assisted electrode array insertion to improve surgical precision and patient outcomes. In his landmark 2020 study (19 citations), Saroul demonstrated that fluoroscopy-guided electrode-array insertion is a valuable, adaptable tool for most cochlear implantation cases, particularly with straight electrode arrays. Building on this, his 2022 preliminary series (8 citations) broke new ground by combining fluoroscopic visual feedback with robotized electrode-array insertion, enabling surgeons to detect intracochlear misrouting in real time while maintaining atraumatic implantation. This dual-modality approach represents a significant leap toward safer, more reproducible cochlear implant surgery. Saroul has also contributed to head and neck oncology, offering expert perspectives on transoral robotic versus laser surgery for supraglottic carcinomas (2024). His work is distinguished by its translational impact—directly informing operating room protocols and device design—and his pioneering role in merging intraoperative imaging with robotic precision to reduce cochlear trauma and preserve residual hearing.
