Abstract:
Cochlear implantation is the most effective method of rehabilitation of patients with a high degree of hearing loss and deafness. This is a complex, multi-stage way of rehabilitation that includes selection of candidates for surgical intervention, a surgical stage and postoperative long-term auditory rehabilitation. In carrying out the surgical stage of cochlear implantation the round window niche area is of great interest, since the variability of its anatomical features affects the access to scala tympani. The article presents the data obtained from study of the round window niche area anatomy on cadaveric temporal bones. Variations of structures important for cochlear implantation have been determined.
