Bone-anchored hearing aids (BAHAs) have been used for multiple types of hearing loss both in pediatric and adult cases. In the last decades, the percutaneous BAHA® Connect System (Cochlear Ltd., Sydney, Australia) was replaced by the fully implanted transcutaneous, magnet-based BAHA® Attract System (Cochlear Ltd., Sydney, Australia). Since the implantable part of the Attract device is fully covered with soft tissue, skin complications that were frequently observed in the percutaneous system, could be eliminated. As an outcome of this important advantage of the Attract System, conversion of the percutaneous into a transcutaneous system should be considered. In the following methodology report, a possible surgical technique is described. The method can easily be adopted to different conditions in which the replacement of the percutaneous device is necessary.
骨锚式助听器（BAHA）已被用于治疗多种类型的听力损失，包括儿科和成人病例。在过去的几十年中，经皮 BAHA® Connect 系统（Cochlear Ltd.，澳大利亚悉尼）已被完全植入的经皮、基于磁铁的 BAHA® Attract 系统（Cochlear Ltd.，澳大利亚悉尼）所取代。由于 Attract 设备的可植入部分完全被软组织覆盖，因此可以消除经皮系统中经常观察到的皮肤并发症。由于 Attract 系统具有这一重要优势，应考虑将经皮系统转换为经皮系统。在下面的方法报告中，描述了一种可能的手术技术。该方法可以很容易地应用于需要更换经皮设备的不同情况。
