Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the application value of intraoperative sliding rail computed tomography (CT) in complicated and difficult cochlear implantation by analyzing the cases of complicated and difficult cochlear implantation. Methods:The clinical data of patients with complicated and difficult cochlear implantation assisted by sliding rail CT were retrospectively analyzed, the intraoperative complications and the number of electrode adjustments were summarized, and the patients were followed up. Results:A total of 51 subjects were included in this study, including 46 patients with inner ear malformation, 2 patients with cochlear ossification, there were 7 patients underwent secondary scanning to adjust the electrode and achieved satisfactory implantation position. Conclusion:Intraoperative CT scanning is a reliable adjunctive tool for determining the placement of complex cochlear implantation, and it improves the accuracy of difficult cochlear implantation surgeries.
