Area of Science:

Otolaryngology
Biomedical Engineering
Neurosurgery

Background:

Cochlear implant (CI) electrode array malpositioning can compromise surgical outcomes.
Intraoperative detection of electrode misplacement is crucial for timely correction.
Current methods for assessing electrode position may have limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate an algorithm for detecting cochlear implant electrode misplacements.
The algorithm aims to identify tip fold-over and basal kinking in lateral-wall electrodes.
To provide a valuable tool for intraoperative clinical routine.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of intraoperative voltage matrix data and postoperative digital volume tomography.
Development of an algorithm based on analyzed data from 525 CI recipients.
Evaluation of algorithm performance for detecting correct positioning and specific misplacements.

Main Results:

The algorithm demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity for detecting correct electrode positioning (100% sensitivity, 83.3% specificity).
It accurately identified tip fold-over (100% sensitivity, 100% specificity) and basal kinking (66% sensitivity, 100% specificity).
Seven instances of incorrect electrode positions were detected, including three tip folds and four basal kinks.

Conclusions:

The developed algorithm is an effective screening tool for intraoperative detection of cochlear implant electrode misplacements.
It specifically identifies tip fold-over and basal kinking with high accuracy.
This tool can enhance surgical safety and optimize electrode array placement in CI procedures.
