Area of Science:

  • Otorhinolaryngology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • The Slim Modiolar (SM) electrode is engineered for atraumatic cochlear implant insertion.
  • Its design aims for perimodiolar placement and minimal interference with cochlear function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the insertion outcomes of the Slim Modiolar (SM) electrode in human temporal bones (TBs).
  • To assess the electrode's insertion forces, positioning, and potential for cochlear trauma.

Main Methods:

  • SM electrode insertion into TBs via cochleostomy, measuring axial insertion force.
  • Fluoroscopic evaluation of insertion dynamics and histologic analysis of electrode placement and trauma.
  • Comparison with the Contour Advance (CA) electrode in a subset of TBs.

Main Results:

  • Most SM electrode insertions (16/22) exhibited minimal insertion forces.
  • Fluoroscopy showed successful perimodiolar placement in 23/25 TBs, with rare complications.
  • Histologic evaluation revealed no cochlear trauma in scala tympani insertions.

Conclusions:

  • The SM electrode demonstrates minimal insertion forces and no histologic trauma in TBs.
  • It reliably achieves perimodiolar positioning.
  • Suboptimal outcomes are linked to cochleostomy location, sheath depth, or premature electrode deployment.
