Cut .mkv Video using ffmpeg without changing original bitrate

Question

I accidently said an unappropriate swear word during an educational video (good start I know). So I would like to remove this section from the .mkv video. However I would like the video and audio bitrate and quality unchanged.

First, I tried cutting the video slightly after the relevant time stamp without reencoding it, using for example

ffmpeg -i input.mkv -ss 00:01:09.200 -c copy -t 4:11 output.mkv

but this way the first couple of seconds seem to get lost.

Is there a way to remove the relevant segment (01:08.800 to 01:09.200) while maintaining the same bitrate / quality for audio and video? Since only formulas are shown, a slight out-of-sync wouldnt even matter.
