Objective: To review experience with cochlear implant reimplantations, including effect of reinsertion on audiological performance.
Study Design And Setting: Retrospective review of cochlear implant reinsertions in patients seen in a private tertiary neurotologic practice. Forty-three patients (8 adults and 35 children) underwent revision cochlear implant surgery for device failure or upgrade.
Objectives/hypothesis: The objective was to make familiar the problems faced in the application of cochlear implants to the half-million to a million severe to profoundly deaf individuals who are potential beneficiaries of this technology.
Study Design: Observations accumulated during 23 years as Medical Director of the Manhattan Eye Ear Throat Hospital Cochlear Implant Center.
Methods: The author reviewed insights gained while directing the Cochlear Implant Center since the early 1980s at Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital (New York, NY).
Objectives: Facial nerve paralysis is a rare but devastating complication of cochlear implant surgery. The aims of the study were to define the incidence of facial nerve paralysis in our series and understand possible mechanisms of injury.
Study Design: Retrospective chart review and case reports.
Objectives/hypothesis: AlloDerm, an acellular dermal graft, has been used successfully as a material for soft tissue implantation. The authors report their experience with the use of AlloDerm in the reconstruction of the tympanic membrane.
Study Design: Case review study.
Objective: To describe the outcome of cochlear implantation in a cohort of pediatric patients with a history of otitis media.
Study Design: Retrospective chart review and follow-up phone survey.
Methods: The medical records of patients younger than 48 months of age who underwent cochlear implantation were reviewed for demographics, complications, and history of otitis media and bilateral myringotomy and ventilation tubes.
