    Summary

    This study found no significant difference in hearing preservation rates based on cochlear insertion depth angles. This confirms that insertion techniques in hearing preservation surgery are atraumatic.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Hearing preservation surgery aims to maintain auditory function during otologic procedures.
    • Accurate knowledge of cochlear anatomy, specifically size, aids surgeons in determining optimal insertion depth.
    • Minimizing intraoperative trauma is crucial for successful hearing preservation outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the relationship between angular insertion depth and hearing preservation rates in surgery.
    • To compare intraoperative estimations with postoperative radiological measurements of insertion angle.
    • To confirm the atraumatic nature of insertion techniques in hearing preservation surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • Surgical insertion angles were estimated intraoperatively.

  • Postoperative radiological assessments were used to measure and calculate insertion angles using Escude's method.
  • Hearing preservation rates were analyzed in relation to the measured insertion angles.

    • Main Results:

    • No statistically significant difference was found between intraoperative estimated and postoperative measured/calculated insertion angles.
    • No statistically significant difference was observed between insertion depth angle and hearing preservation rate.
    • The analysis supports the atraumatic nature of the insertion technique used.

    Conclusions:

    • Cochlear insertion depth angle, whether estimated or measured, does not significantly impact hearing preservation rates.
    • The surgical technique employed in this study is confirmed to be atraumatic.
    • Preoperative anatomical data may not be essential for designing insertion depth in hearing preservation surgery based on this analysis.
