This document discusses, among other things, systems and methods for robotically assisted implantation of an implant in a patient. A system includes an external positioning unit configured to engage an elongate member of the implant, and a control console communicatively coupled to the external positioning unit. The control console may have a user interface that enables a user to input motion control instructions. The control console may generate a motion control signal, according to a specific motion control instruction, to control the external positioning unit to propel the implant into a target implant site. The system may be used to robotically control the delivery and positing of a cochlear implant during a hearing-preservation cochlear implant surgery.
A system for robotically assisted implantation of an implant in a patient, the system comprising:
A non-implantable apparatus for robotically assisted implantation of a cochlear implant having an electrode array disposed on an elongate member, the apparatus comprising:
A method for delivering and positioning an electrode of a cochlear implant on an elongate member into a target implantation site of a patient via an external robotically assisted implantation system, the method comprising:
