Clinical Feasibility of a Dual-Arm Robotic System for ENT Procedures: A Pilot Workload Assessment

Key Points

To assess early-operator workload and interface constraints of a dual-arm robotic system for ENT procedures.
Phantom-based experimentation to simulate ENT procedures.
Assessment of operator workload and interface functionality.
Identification of constraints within the dual-arm system.
Early signals indicate areas for improvement in system design.
Preliminary findings suggest operator workload levels are manageable.
Potential refinements could enhance clinical applicability and performance.

Abstract

These preliminary phantom-based findings characterize early-operator workload and interface constraints of a dual-arm teleoperated system for outpatient ENT procedures. The results provide hypothesis-generating signals to guide system refinement. Future patient-based, head-to-head studies are required to assess full workflow performance and clinical applicability.
