Mick Metselaar

Mick Metselaar serves as a Researcher in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery at Erasmus University Rotterdam, focusing on clinical and technical innovations in ear, nose, and throat surgery. His work bridges surgical practice with engineering principles to optimize patient outcomes.

His research centers on cholesteatoma management and tympanoplasty techniques, with significant contributions to mastoid cavity obliteration procedures and revision surgery protocols. He investigates critical intersections of surgical methodology and medical imaging, particularly through retrospective cohort studies analyzing hearing restoration, infection rates, and cavity management outcomes. His engineering collaborations explore image processing for flexible endoscopes, addressing color fidelity and edge enhancement to improve diagnostic accuracy.

Recent publications demonstrate consistent interdisciplinary trends: clinical outcome analysis of surgical techniques (2022-2024) combined with computational optimization of ENT imaging systems. This dual focus advances both surgical decision-making frameworks and real-time diagnostic tool performance in otorhinolaryngology.
