About
Yves Jegge is a biomedical engineer whose research sits at the intersection of neural monitoring and robotic otologic surgery. His most-cited work pioneers the use of electrical impedance as a real-time indicator of facial nerve proximity during robotic cochlear implantation—a critical safety innovation that could reduce iatrogenic nerve injury. By demonstrating that tissue impedance data, readily available from existing neuromonitoring systems, correlates with tissue density and nerve distance, Jegge has opened a new, radiation-free avenue for surgical guidance. His pilot study (23 citations) provides foundational evidence that impedance mapping can serve as a surrogate for direct nerve visualization in confined surgical fields. This work is particularly notable for its translational potential: rather than requiring new hardware, it repurposes standard monitoring signals to enhance surgical precision. Jegge’s contributions are shaping a future where robotic cochlear implantation is not only more accurate but also safer, leveraging bioimpedance as a low-cost, continuous feedback modality. His research stands at the forefront of merging neural electrophysiology with surgical robotics.
