Surgical results of transcutaneous bone-anchored hearing aid comparing the C-shaped and linear incision techniques.

Purpose: The aim of the study is to compare the operative time and postoperative complication outcomes for bone-anchored hearing aid (BAHA) implants using two different techniques: the C-shaped incision technique and the linear incision technique.

Methods: An analysis was carried out of 38 patients implanted with transcutaneous BAHAs during a 4-year period in a single otolaryngology department.

Results: The implantation was carried out under general anesthesia.
