The objective was to describe surgical techniques helpful in implanting children with inner ear malformations.
This was a retrospective chart review and description of surgical techniques in the setting of a tertiary referral center.
The study population was composed of 10 children with inner ear deformities who received 22-channel implants.
The primary surgical challenges encountered in these procedures include complete electrode insertion, cerebrospinal fluid gusher, identification of cochleostomy site in the absence of the round window and aberrant facial nerve, and fixation and stabilization of the electrode.
The techniques described allow safe and effective insertion of multichannel electrodes in patients with inner ear malformations.
目的是描述有助于为内耳畸形儿童植入人工耳蜗的手术技术。
这是一项在三级转诊中心对手术技术进行的回顾性病历审查和描述。
研究人群由10名接受22通道人工耳蜗植入的内耳畸形儿童组成。
这些手术中遇到的主要手术挑战包括电极完全插入、脑脊液喷射、在没有圆窗和异常面神经的情况下确定蜗窗造口部位，以及电极的固定和稳定。
所描述的技术能够安全有效地为内耳畸形患者插入多通道电极。
