Background:

Common cavity malformations present unique challenges for cochlear implantation.
Suboptimal electrode array placement can lead to poor auditory outcomes and complications.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of intraoperative fluoroscopy for common cavity cochlear implantation.
To compare outcomes between fluoroscopically-assisted and non-fluoroscopic techniques.

Main Methods:

Retrospective case review of 15 cochlear implantations in 9 patients with common cavity deformities.
Comparison of electrode array placement, complications, and speech performance between groups with and without intraoperative fluoroscopy.

Main Results:

The non-fluoroscopy group showed higher rates of suboptimal electrode placement (50%), complications, and fewer implanted/active electrodes.
Fluoroscopically-assisted implantation demonstrated improved electrode array positioning and a higher number of active electrodes.

Conclusions:

Intraoperative fluoroscopy is a safe, effective, and easily implemented technique for common cavity cochlear implantation.
This method leads to improved surgical outcomes and speech perception in patients with these complex deformities.
