Cochlear electrode insertion is a challenging manual procedure. One technique requires the
physician to coordinate the motions of an electrode array approximately 1mm in diameter …

Until now more than 250,000 cochlea implantations have been performed worldwide. The
surgical procedure is well standardized. A discussion about the kind of postoperative …

Objectives: Radiological evaluation of the position of cochlear implant (CI) devices is an
upcoming method for quality control after CI surgery. First, results of imaging of the middle …

Imaging of the vestibulocochlear nerve has evolved dramatically over the past few decades.
The imaging specialist now is involved in the diagnosis of far more diagnostic entities than …

Objective: To use the improved resolution available with 64-slice multidetector computed
tomography (MDCT) in vivo to localize the cochlear implant electrode array within the basal …

Conclusions: The round window membrane (RWM)-intentioned approach is superior to the
traditional bony cochleostomy (BC) approach in obtaining electrode placement within the …

Background: The measurement of scalar location and intra-scalar position of cochlear
implantation (CI) electrodes using computed tomography (CT) is complicated by metallic …

Objective: To calculate the frequency allocation mismatch in a group of very selected
cochlear implant (CI) recipients and to contrast it with the speech perception performances …

Objective: To evaluate the outcomes and association factors of long-term hearing
preservation (HP) in cochlear implantation with lateral wall (LW) electrode arrays. Study …

Conclusion. The modified round window insertion enables reproducible insertion into the
scala tympani as demonstrated by comparing the 64-CT scanning data and the surgeon's …
