Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Traditional bone-anchored hearing aid (BAHA) insertion techniques can cause alopecia and soft tissue defects.
  • Some surgeons are moving away from split skin flap methods towards less invasive approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate BAHA placement using a single, linear incision with minimal soft tissue reduction.
  • To assess the efficacy and safety of this modified surgical technique.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective enrollment of 34 adult patients for single-stage BAHA placement.
  • Utilized a small, linear incision through the periosteum followed by standard abutment placement.
  • Regular patient follow-up included wound healing assessment using Holgers' scale.

Main Results:

  • Only 14.7% of patients experienced a reaction score of 2 or higher.
  • Minor skin reactions were the most common complications, managed with silver nitrate or antibiotics.
  • No patients required revision surgery for tissue overgrowth, and no implant failures occurred.

Conclusions:

  • The modified linear incision technique for BAHA placement is simple and effective.
  • This approach offers favorable cosmetic results and high patient satisfaction.
  • The technique demonstrates a low complication rate and successful osseointegration.
