Background:

Cochlear implant electrode array insertion carries risks of fold-over, potentially causing patient complications.
Accurate intraoperative monitoring is crucial for successful cochlear implantation.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate a sensing system for detecting electrode array fold-over during cochlear implantation.
To analyze capacitive information from the electrode array tip for real-time feedback.

Main Methods:

Simulated cochlear implant insertions were performed in a cochlear model.
Insertion force and bipolar capacitance signals were collected.
Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) was used to analyze capacitive signals and discriminate insertion patterns.

Main Results:

A 97.83% success rate was achieved in discriminating fold-over insertions using a PCC threshold of 0.94.
Capacitive measurements effectively identified faulty electrode array insertions.
Insertion force variations ranged between 20% and 30%.

Conclusions:

Capacitive sensing is an effective method for detecting faulty cochlear implant insertions.
This system can enhance surgical precision and patient outcomes in cochlear implantation.
The technology has potential applications in other tissue implant procedures.
