Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Cochlear implantation (CI) aims to restore hearing in severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss.
  • Individualized partial CI insertions require precise electrode placement for optimal outcomes.
  • Accurate preoperative planning is essential for successful CI surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To validate a virtual planning tool for predicting electrode position in partial cochlear implant insertions.
  • To assess the accuracy of the tool in guiding individualized electrode placement.
  • To evaluate the clinical applicability of the tool for hearing-preservation CI.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of ten patients undergoing CI with MED-EL FLEX electrodes.
  • Preoperative planning using a virtual tool with cone-beam CT (CBCT) and audiological data.
  • Comparison of predicted versus actual electrode positions via postoperative imaging; analysis of anatomical parameters (RWA, VA).

Main Results:

  • High concordance between predicted and actual electrode positions (median depth: 20.01 mm planned vs. 19.08 mm actual).
  • Bland-Altman analysis showed good agreement with small systematic deviations.
  • Round window angle (RWA) and visual angle (VA) did not significantly affect prediction accuracy.

Conclusions:

  • The virtual planning tool reliably guides individualized partial electrode insertions.
  • Findings support the tool's clinical use in hearing-preservation CI strategies.
  • Precise anatomical assessment and high-quality imaging are vital for surgical planning.
