Abstract:
From the technical point of view, cochlear implant (CI) surgery in adults is a well established procedure. Pre- and postoperative evaluation, surgical approach and rehabilitation programs are standardized, presenting CI as a low risk procedure with rare complications similar to those of middle ear surgery. Part 1 described the diagnostics, surgical procedure and possible complications. The second part will cover the contraindications, special cases as well as the technical parameters of the modern implant system.
