Feasibility of day-case pediatric cochlear implantation.

Purpose: Pediatric cochlear implantation is performed on an outpatient basis in an inconstant way. The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of day-case pediatric cochlear implantation by determining the acceptability of outpatient-to-inpatient conversion rate (acceptability threshold of 5%) and to assess the safety by comparing outpatient and inpatient postoperative events. We also want to identify conversion predictive factors.
