Scan Electron Microsc. 1982(Pt 3):1295-300.
A total of 21 cochleas in 13 chinchillas were treated with cryosurgery and the damage to the organ of Corti was evaluated with the scanning electron microscope. The apical half-turn was treated in 11 of the cochleas and the basal half-turn in 10. Apical exposure to the cryoprobe generally resulted in severe damage to sensory cells in the apical turn whereas basal turn exposure generally resulted in mild damage to sensory cells in the basal turn. On occasion severe damage from apical turn exposure resulted in severe damage that extended to the basal turn. First row outer hair cells were the most susceptible to damage and inner hair cells least susceptible.
对13只龙猫的21个耳蜗进行了冷冻手术治疗，并用扫描电子显微镜评估了柯蒂氏器的损伤情况。11个耳蜗的顶半圈接受了治疗，10个耳蜗的底半圈接受了治疗。将冷冻探头置于顶半圈通常会导致顶圈感觉细胞严重受损，而置于底半圈通常会导致底圈感觉细胞轻度受损。偶尔，顶圈暴露造成的严重损伤会延伸至底圈。第一排外毛细胞最易受损，内毛细胞最不易受损。
