About
Yassin Abdelsamad is a rising figure in otology and cochlear implant surgery, whose work bridges advanced imaging, surgical planning, and robotic precision. His research centers on optimizing electrode placement and surgical access to improve hearing outcomes for patients with severe hearing loss. A key contribution is his pioneering use of OTOPLAN reconstructed 3D models to define the optimal electrode trajectory and investigate the retro-facial approach for direct round window access, a technique detailed in his 2023 study (7 citations). In a landmark 2024 experimental study (6 citations), Abdelsamad led a comparison of robotic versus manual electrode insertion on cadaveric heads, enlisting nine senior neurotologists to demonstrate that robotic systems can enhance insertion precision and consistency. This work has immediate implications for reducing intracochlear trauma and preserving residual hearing. Though early in his career, his focus on translating computational tools and automation into surgical practice marks him as an innovator shaping the future of minimally invasive cochlear implantation.
