Objectives: To evaluate incidence, demographics, surgical, and radiological correlates of incomplete and false tract electrode array insertions during cochlear implantation (CI). To evaluate outcomes in patients with incomplete electrode insertion (IEI).
Study Design: Retrospective analysis.
Objective: To study the clinical presentation, intraoperative findings and surgical management in meningo-encephalic-herniation (MEH) based on the etiology.
Study Design: A retrospective clinical study and is a follow-up on the previously published report in 2009.
Setting: A quaternary referral otology and skull base center PATIENTS AND METHODS:: The inclusion criteria were intraoperatively verified MEH in patients with a minimum follow-up of 12 months, which yielded 262 operated ears.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated long-term surgical outcomes of cochlear implantation (CI) in patients with chronic otitis media (COM) and cholesteatoma using subtotal petrosectomy (STP), involving a review of 35 cases.
- Results indicated a mean follow-up of over 7 years, with 11% experiencing device explantation due to issues like extrusion and infection, though most were reimplantable.
- The findings suggest that CI is feasible for these patients, and while the risk of residual cholesteatoma post-surgery is low, the risk of device explantation is higher compared to standard procedures.
Objectives: 1) To review the surgical and auditory outcomes and complications of cochlear implantation in cases with cochlear ossification. 2) To evaluate association between the extent and etiology of ossification to outcomes.
Study Design: Retrospective study.
Objectives: 1) To review the surgical and auditory outcomes in patients of cochlear implantation in otosclerosis. 2) To review complications and postimplantation facial nerve stimulation (FNS). 3) To compare the auditory outcomes between patients displaying cochlear ossification to the nonossified ones.
