Background Atraumatic surgery and electrode arrays are current topics in otologic surgery.
The preservation of cochlear anatomy and its functions is a priority and morphologic …

Objectives To estimate the prevalence of, and risk factors associated with electrode
migration (EM) in cochlear implant (CI) recipients. Design Historical cohort study of all CIs …

Background: CI electrode array folding, such folding of the proximal array, is a relatively
common surgical complication that can occur with forceful electrode insertion and may be an …

Objectives: The aim of this study is to report on our preliminary experience with
Transimpedance Matrix (TIM)-measurement for the detection of cochlear implant electrode …

Exposure of the cochlear implant electrode array as a late complication has been reported
rarely in the literature. A retrospective analysis revealed 4 patients presenting with exposure …

Background: The main focuses of modern cochlear implant surgery are to prevent damage
to the intracochlear structures and to preserve residual hearing. This is often achievable with …

Objectives/Hypothesis In pediatric patients with congenital malformations of the inner ear,
anomalies within the anatomy may facilitate unintentional insertion of the cochlear implant …

Background: Few studies assessed the relationship between the insertion axis and the
electrode scalar location. Methods: Preimplantation cone-beam CT (CBCT) was performed …

Results Postexplantation device analysis by the manufacturer demonstrated silicone touch-
up at the site of failure. Six years since reimplantation, the patient has remained symptom …

Objectives As indications for cochlear implantation have expanded to include patients with
more residual hearing, increasing emphasis has been placed on minimally traumatic …
