| Summary: | In otology, robotic innovations, whose clinical benefits are not attested by evidence-based medicine, aim at promoting less invasive surgical procedures. Based on observations in a pediatric operating room in the Paris region and interviews with surgeons, this article explores their involvement in these projects. These devices create new constraints in the operating room and reshape operators' perceptual skills. Promoted for their benefits to patients, they are part of a quest to make surgical gestures safer, and provide new aesthetic pleasure and stimulation during increasingly standardized procedures. Their use is also part of the epistemic commitment of university hospital practitioners, who are involved in a regime of scientific promise (the ebb of uncertainty, the future of gene therapy and data science, collaboration with industry). |
