About
Dr. Vittoria Sykopetrites is a pioneering surgeon-scientist at the forefront of otologic robotics, whose work is redefining the precision and safety of middle ear surgery and cochlear implantation. Her research centers on the development and clinical translation of robot-assisted surgical systems for the delicate structures of the temporal bone. Dr. Sykopetrites’ landmark contribution, the first clinical report on robot-based assistance in middle ear surgery and cochlear implantation (2020, 65 citations), demonstrated that robotic systems could achieve consistent, atraumatic electrode array insertions—a critical factor for preserving residual hearing. This foundational study has become a key reference in the field, establishing a new benchmark for surgical accuracy. More recently, her comparative trial in pediatric patients (2025) has begun to quantify the advantages of robotic over manual insertion in children, offering early evidence for improved outcomes in this vulnerable population. By bridging engineering and otology, Dr. Sykopetrites is not only advancing surgical technique but also paving the way for broader adoption of robotics in hearing restoration, with the potential to benefit thousands of patients worldwide.
