About

Dr. Xiaoyang Hua is a pioneering surgeon-scientist at the intersection of otolaryngology and medical robotics. His primary research focuses on developing and translating robotic-assisted surgical systems for cochlear implantation, with the goal of improving precision and preserving inner ear structures during electrode array insertion. Dr. Hua’s most notable contribution is leading the first human clinical trial of a single-use robotic-assisted device for cochlear implant surgery, as detailed in his landmark 2022 study (31 citations). This prospective, single-arm trial demonstrated the safety and utility of the investigational system, marking a critical step toward standardizing robotic assistance in otologic surgery. His work addresses the fundamental challenge of manual insertion variability, potentially reducing trauma to the delicate cochlea and improving hearing outcomes for patients with severe hearing loss. Beyond this trial, Dr. Hua’s research spans surgical innovation, device design, and clinical translation. With over 30 citations on his seminal paper alone, his contributions are shaping the future of minimally invasive cochlear implantation and inspiring a new generation of otologic surgeons to embrace robotic precision.
