We assess the surgical results of the first one hundred cochlear implant operations at the Belfast Cochlear Implant Centre. This paper is in the form of a retrospective case series, taking into account the surgical technique used and any problems encountered. Initially 28 operations were performed using the standard inverted U-shaped incision. After Gibson and Harrison described a vertical postaural incision we began using a slight modification of this technique for any further implantations. Since November 1994 the vertical post aural skin incision has been used in 71 patients. The surgical complications of cochlear implantation include haematoma, wound infection and flap necrosis of varying degrees of severity. We report a low level of these complications, particularly with the vertical incision.
我们评估了贝尔法斯特人工耳蜗植入中心开展的首批100例人工耳蜗植入手术的外科手术结果。本文采用回顾性病例系列的形式，考量了所使用的手术技术以及遇到的任何问题。最初，28例手术采用标准倒U形切口。在吉布森和哈里森描述了垂直耳后切口后，我们开始对该技术进行轻微改良以用于后续的植入手术。自1994年11月起，71例患者采用了垂直耳后皮肤切口。人工耳蜗植入的外科并发症包括血肿、伤口感染以及不同严重程度的皮瓣坏死。我们报告这些并发症的发生率较低，尤其是采用垂直切口时。
