[Surgical strategy of minimally invasive cochlear implantation]

Cochlear implantation is currently the most effective treatment for patients with severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss. How to achieve minimally invasive treatment, preserve the residual hearing, and further improve curative effect and reduce surgical complications is the goal of cochlear implantation practice. This article introduces the minimally invasive cochlear implantation technique in terms of the idea of minimally invasive operation, the advantages of electric acoustic stimulation, the key points of electrode implantation technique, the design of surgical incision, and the precise processing of perioperative period. This technique not only has the merits of less operative damage and better hearing and speech rehabilitation after surgery, but also reserves favorable structures and function for the future application of gene therapy and hair cell regeneration technique. Therefore, it is strongly recommended for further promotion in clinical practice.
