To evaluate the position and shape of inserted electrode arrays by plain X-ray during cochlear implantation.
Cochlear view of implanted electrode arrays by plain X-ray were observed during operation in 54 patients received cochlear implant.
The image in cochlear view could provide the information about position and shape of inserted electrode arrays. The spiral-shape electrode arrays without distortion and folding were found in 52 cases. The complete insertion of intracochlear electrode in these patients were confirmed by surgery. Of 54 cases, the other 2 cases showed improper position and C-shape of intracochlear electrodes, one was partial insertion and the other was bending inside the cochlea. The bending electrode array was reinserted immediately during operation.
Routine plain X-ray after inserted electrode during operation was a best way of knowing the shape and depth of the electrode array, especial for the difficult cochlear implantation, and also could avoided anesthetization again.
通过X线平片评估人工耳蜗植入术中植入电极阵列的位置和形态。
对54例接受人工耳蜗植入术的患者在术中通过X线平片观察植入电极阵列的耳蜗位影像。
耳蜗位影像可提供植入电极阵列的位置和形态信息。52例可见螺旋形电极阵列无扭曲、折叠,术中证实这些患者的耳蜗内电极完全植入。54例中,另外2例耳蜗内电极位置不当呈C形,1例为部分植入,另1例在耳蜗内弯曲。术中立即将弯曲的电极阵列重新植入。
术中植入电极后常规行X线平片检查是了解电极阵列形态和深度的最佳方法,尤其对于困难的人工耳蜗植入,还可避免再次麻醉。
