Comparison of the Pediatric Cochlear Implantation Using Round Window and Cochleostomy.

Introduction: Cochlear implantation (CI) is now regarded as a standard treatment for children with severe to profound sensor neural hearing loss. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of the round window approach (RWA) and standard cochleostomy approach (SCA) in the preservation of residual hearing after CI in pediatric patients.

Materials And Methods: This double-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted on 97 pediatric patients receiving CI with 12-month follow-up.
