One of the most dreaded complications after cochlear implantation is infection. These infections are a challenge due to lack of any data regarding optimal methods of investigation and management. More often than not, these patients have to undergo explantation and revision surgery. This paper presents a case report and literature review which focuses on the role of antibiotics and the need for early explantation in most biofilm-related infections of cochlear implants.
人工耳蜗植入术后最可怕的并发症之一是感染。由于缺乏关于最佳检查和管理方法的任何数据，这些感染成为了一项挑战。通常情况下，这些患者不得不接受植入物取出和翻修手术。本文呈现了一份病例报告和文献综述，重点关注抗生素的作用以及在大多数与生物膜相关的人工耳蜗感染中早期取出植入物的必要性。
