To describe a modification to the Baha Attract surgical technique that aims to enhance skin closure, create smooth skin across the surface of the wound, reduce surgery time, and improve cosmetics of the surgical site. Retrospective chart review. Patients were implanted between 2014 and 2016 at King Fahad General Hospital (KFGH) (Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia). 20 adult patients (11 males, 9 females), all eligible for Baha Attract system. One patient only had a previous Baha surgery. The normal Baha Attract surgical technique with modification to the soft tissue reduction stage is described. The mean surgical time was 35.25 min (range 25-55). Bleeding was present but not significant and easily controlled in four patients. All patients received the 4 mm implant. None of the patients experienced severe pain. The postoperative follow-up period was 6 months for 7 patients and 8 months for 13 patients. Patient feedback and monitoring indicates a good hearing performance and comfort in all patients. The modified Baha Attract surgical method causes less postoperative complication, improve cosmetic effect, and provide shorter operative time compared to the conventional Attract procedure.
描述对巴哈吸引式手术技术的一种改进，该改进旨在加强皮肤闭合、使伤口表面皮肤平整、缩短手术时间并改善手术部位的美观效果。回顾性病历审查。患者于2014年至2016年在法赫德国王总医院（沙特阿拉伯王国吉达）植入。20名成年患者（11名男性，9名女性），均符合巴哈吸引系统植入条件。仅1名患者曾接受过巴哈手术。描述了对软组织减容阶段进行改进的常规巴哈吸引式手术技术。平均手术时间为35.25分钟（范围25 - 55分钟）。4名患者有出血情况，但不严重且易于控制。所有患者均植入4毫米的植入物。无患者经历严重疼痛。7名患者的术后随访期为6个月，13名患者为8个月。患者反馈和监测表明所有患者听力表现良好且舒适度高。与传统的吸引式手术相比，改进后的巴哈吸引式手术方法术后并发症更少，改善了美容效果，并缩短了手术时间。
