Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Device Technology

Background:

  • Assessing the impact of the SmartNav system on surgical workflow.
  • Determining the necessity of audiologist presence during pediatric cochlear implant surgeries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Evaluate the efficiency of a surgeon-performed SmartNav protocol.
  • Investigate the role of remote data transmission to audiologists.
  • Assess the overall impact on surgical workflow and resource utilization.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective cohort study of 40 pediatric cochlear implant surgeries (Cochlear CI 632 device with SmartNav).
  • Patients aged 18 or younger with normal cochlear anatomy.
  • Evaluation included preoperative registration, intraoperative assessment, and remote data transmission.

Main Results:

  • 34 patients (40 implants); median age 3.6 years.
  • Median surgical time 86 min/ear; SmartNav protocol 12.7 min.
  • No audiologist needed in OR; remote data enabled successful postoperative fitting.

Conclusions:

  • SmartNav enhances pediatric cochlear implantation efficiency.
  • Surgeon-performed testing reduces resource dependency and operative time.
  • Optimized resource utilization may improve auditory outcomes and patient care.
