Conventional technique for transcutaneous bone-anchored hearing implants surgery requires the elevation of a large retroauricular skin flap to expose the site of implantation, that may cause a large scar and the interruption of retroauricular vasculature.
A less invasive, endoscopic-assisted modification of the surgical technique is described, which provides access to the implant site through two small skin incisions and the creation of a pocket in the retroauricular area.
Endoscopic-assisted bone-anchored hearing implant surgery could be a viable option for transcutaneous bone-anchored hearing implant surgery, especially for pediatric patients.
传统的经皮骨锚式听力植入手术技术需要掀起一个大的耳后皮瓣以暴露植入部位,这可能导致大的疤痕和耳后血管的中断。
我们描述了一种微创、内镜辅助的手术技术改良,该技术通过两个小的皮肤切口提供进入植入部位的通道,并在耳后区域创建一个口袋。
内镜辅助骨锚式听力植入手术可能是经皮骨锚式听力植入手术的一种可行选择,特别是对于儿科患者。
