About

Abdulrahman Hagr is a leading figure in otology and neurotology, whose research is redefining cochlear implant surgery through the integration of robotics and advanced imaging. His work centers on enhancing surgical precision and preserving delicate cochlear structures, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted cochlear implant surgery (RACIS). A key contribution is his systematic review on electrode choice, which synthesized evidence from 17 cited studies to identify adverse events in manual insertions, establishing a critical benchmark for robotic alternatives. Hagr further advanced the field by demonstrating the use of OTOPLAN software to reconstruct 3D models for optimal electrode trajectory, a technique that improves surgical planning and access to the round window. His experimental study, comparing robotic versus manual electrode insertion in cadaveric models, provided early evidence that robotic systems can achieve greater precision, with findings cited by peers exploring this frontier. Through these works, Hagr is not only refining surgical protocols but also laying the groundwork for safer, more consistent outcomes in cochlear implantation, making him a pivotal voice in the transition toward automated otologic surgery.
