Long-Term Outcomes of a Percutaneous Wide-Diameter Bone-Anchored Hearing Implant: A Clinical Evaluation of More than 800 Implants.

Objective: This study evaluates the clinical outcomes of 807 percutaneous wide-diameter bone-anchored hearing implants (BAHIs) in 701 patients. In addition, it compares patient groups and examines bone conduction device (BCD) usage.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Long-Term Follow-up of a Wide-Diameter Bone-Anchored Hearing Implant: 10-Year Experience on Stability, Survival, and Tolerability of an Implant-Abutment Combination.

Objective: To compare stability, survival, and soft tissue reactions between a wide-diameter (test) and previous-generation small-diameter (control) bone-anchored hearing implant and to ascertain the safety of loading the test implant 3 weeks after surgery, at a long-term follow-up of 10 years.

Study Design: This study is a continuation of two previously completed, multicenter, randomized, controlled trials and consisted of one to two additional follow-up visits until 10 years after surgery.

Patients: Fifty-one of the 72 participants from the previous trials were included.

Ten-year retrospective evaluation of therapeutic choices and related satisfaction in patients with auricular deformities.

To adequately counsel future patients with auricular abnormalities, this study aimed to analyze the therapeutic choices patients make after consultation concerning their auricle and/or hearing. All patients who visited the auricle consultation between January 2010 and January 2020 were included. This comprises patients with all types of auricular anomalies of both congenital and acquired etiology.
