About
Vincent Van Rompaey is a pioneering researcher in otologic surgery, specializing in robotic-assisted cochlear implantation and inner ear surgical innovations. His work centers on developing and evaluating the HEARO® robotic system for autonomous inner ear access, a breakthrough that promises unprecedented precision in cochlear implant surgery. His most cited study (52 citations) reports the first human trial of this robotic tool, demonstrating its potential to reduce trauma and improve outcomes. Van Rompaey has also made significant contributions to understanding cochlear anatomy, using micro-CT imaging to predict scala tympani volume and electrode insertion forces (23 citations), which directly informs safer surgical planning. His research extends to genetic causes of deafness, including a pathogenic POU3F4 variant that enabled innovative surgical approaches for incomplete partition type III malformations (21 citations). With over 160 cumulative citations across his key papers, Van Rompaey’s work bridges engineering, anatomy, and clinical practice, advancing the goal of minimally invasive, trauma-free cochlear implantation. His systematic reviews and audiological outcome studies further solidify his role as a leader in translating robotic technology into tangible patient benefits.
