Background:
Electrode migration has been identified as a complication primarily related to straight electrodes. To address this issue, the use of a fixation clip has been suggested as an alternative to stabilize the electrode lead and reduce the risk of migration.
Methods:
A modified approach to the standard fixation clip procedure is introduced. Steps and technical considerations are presented in the video attached.
Conclusions:
This novel configuration offers enhanced fixation of the electrode array without requiring additional surgical time and without posing any additional risk to the facial nerve.
