Abstract
|
|
|
|
Background and Objectives：The surgical complications of the cochlear implantation are rare but most of them are flap-related. The author simplified the previous minimal incision with operating microscope only. The minimal incision method was compared retrospectively with the conventional incision method. Materials and Methods：The approach with “V” shaped incision less than 4 cm was done to nine patients. Eight patients were done with the conventional “S” shaped incision. These results of the both methods were analyzed. Results：There is no major complication in both groups. One case of the conventional method group showed the hematoma. One case with the minimal incision method showed the erythema. Conclusions：The minimal incision surgery for the cochlear implant is possible to perform without major complications and large scars.
