Cochlear implants have revolutionized the way patients affected by severe hearing loss experience the world. Neurelec developed a fixation system with two titanium screws that requires no skull bone drilling.
To describe the outcomes and procedure-related details of a series of patients implanted with the Digisonic® SP cochlear implant.
This retrospective study analyzed patients submitted to cochlear implant placement within a period of 18 months. All patients had postlingual hearing impairment. Data was collected from patient charts and standard questionnaires answered by the surgeons in charge of carrying out the procedures.
The six patients offered the Digisonic® SP cochlear implants were operated by experienced surgeons. The procedures took 95 to 203 minutes (mean = 135') to be completed, which is less time than what has been described for other fixation approaches. No complications were recorded and hearing improvement was satisfactory.
The Digisonic® SP cochlear implant developed by Neurelec offered good audiological results for adult patients, shorter surgery time, and no surgical or postoperative complications.
人工耳蜗植入已经彻底改变了严重听力损失患者体验世界的方式。Neurelec 开发了一种带有两个钛螺钉的固定系统,无需进行颅骨钻孔。
描述一系列接受 Digisonic® SP 人工耳蜗植入的患者的结果和与手术相关的详细信息。
这项回顾性研究分析了在 18 个月期间接受人工耳蜗植入的患者。所有患者均为后天性听力障碍。数据来自患者病历和负责手术的外科医生回答的标准问卷。
六名患者接受了 Digisonic® SP 人工耳蜗植入,由经验丰富的外科医生操作。手术完成时间为 95 至 203 分钟(平均 135'),比其他固定方法所需的时间短。没有记录到并发症,听力改善令人满意。
Neurelec 开发的 Digisonic® SP 人工耳蜗为成年患者提供了良好的听力学结果,手术时间更短,且无手术或术后并发症。
