Background: Cochlear implants are arguably the most successful neural prosthesis today. Cochlear implantation has several difficulties in patients with internal ear anomalies. This study was performed to analyze intraoperative, postoperative findings, and auditory performance of 55 patients who had inner ear malformations and were treated with cochlear implants at Otorhinolaryngology Department of Çukurova University Hospital.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the short- and long-term complications after cochlear implantation (CI) procedures and to discuss the management and prevention of these complications.
Methods: The study included a total of 1452 pediatric and adult cochlear implantation procedures performed in our clinic from March 2000 through September 2019. Of the 1452 implantations, 1201 were performed in children and 156 in adults.
Objectives: This study aimed to understand if videos of the patients' nystagmus recorded by themselves during the attacks can help in the diagnosis of Meniere's disease (MD).
Materials And Methods: Sixty patients (age range 32-78 years) who had vestibular attacks and hearing complaints admitted to Çukurova University Hospital Otolaryngology Department and a private office between September 2013 and January 2017 were included in this randomized clinical trial study. Two groups with 30 patients each were formed.
Objectives: The aim of the present study was to analyze the outcomes of cochlear implantation (CI) in patients with agenesis of the corpus callosum (CCA). A literature review and a retrospective analysis of our cochlear implant database were performed.
Materials And Methods: To the best of our knowledge, in the English literature, there was only one case reported with CCA who had undergone CI surgery.
Introduction: Aspiration of foreign bodies is an emergency condition in children and may result in death, especially in children under 3 years of age. Therefore, diagnosis and treatment must be made rapidly.
Objective: This study sought to summarize our experience with endoscope-assisted rigid bronchoscopy (RB) in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric tracheobronchial foreign body emergencies to reduce complications and mortality.
