Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • Patients with cochlear implants (CIs) frequently require neurosurgical interventions.
  • Neurosurgeons must understand CI limitations and interactions with surgical procedures and instruments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and review potential interferences between cochlear implants and common neurosurgical procedures.
  • To inform neurosurgical practice regarding the safe management of patients with CIs.

Main Methods:

  • Literature search using terms 'cochlear implant' and 'neurosurgery'.
  • Review of 146 abstracts and 8 full papers on CI interactions in neurosurgical procedures.

Main Results:

  • Five key interaction areas identified: MRI, radiotherapy, deep brain stimulation (DBS), intraventricular shunt placement, and intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM).
  • Limitations include MRI risks (thermal injury, damage), radiosurgery effects (>50 Gy), DBS magnet removal needs, shunt placement considerations (>2 cm from CI), and potential IONM/cautery interference.
  • MRI-safer devices are in development; radiosurgery <50 Gy and bipolar cautery (>1 cm from CI) appear safe, but more research on IONM and monopolar cautery is needed.

Conclusions:

  • Cochlear implant use necessitates careful neurosurgical planning to mitigate risks.
  • Understanding device limitations and specific procedural interactions is crucial for patient safety and optimal outcomes.
