Cochlear Implant Surgery

Abstract Image-guided cochlear implant surgery is expected to reduce volume of mastoidectomy, accelerate recovery, and improve safety. The purpose of this study was to investigate the safety and effectiveness of image-guided cochlear implant surgery by a non-invasive registration method, in a cadaveric study. We developed a visual positioning frame that can utilize the maxillary dentition as a registration tool and completed the tunnels experiment on 5 cadaver specimens (8 cases in total). The accuracy of the entry point and the target point were 0.471 ± 0.276 mm and 0.671 ± 0.268 mm, respectively. The shortest distance from the margin of the tunnel to the facial nerve and the ossicular chain were 0.790 ± 0.709 mm and 1.960 ± 0.630 mm, respectively. All facial nerves, tympanic membranes, and ossicular chains were completely preserved. Using this approach, high accuracy was achieved in this preliminary study, suggesting that the non-invasive registration method can meet the accuracy requirements for cochlear implant surgery. Based on the above accuracy, we speculate that our method can also be applied to neurosurgery, orbitofacial surgery, lateral skull base surgery, and anterior skull base surgery with satisfactory accuracy.

Youtube Videos

Abstract Background YouTube is increasingly used as a source of healthcare information. This study evaluated the quality of videos on YouTube about cochlear implants. Methods YouTube was searched using the phrase ‘cochlear implant’. The first 60 results were screened by two independent reviewers. A modified Discern tool was used to evaluate the quality of each video. Results Forty-seven videos were analysed. The mean overall Discern score was 2.0 out of 5.0. Videos scored higher for describing positive elements such as the benefits of a cochlear implant (mean score of 3.4) and scored lower for negative elements such as the risks of cochlear implant surgery (mean score of 1.3). Conclusion The quality of information regarding cochlear implant surgery on YouTube is highly variable. These results demonstrated a bias towards the positive attributes of cochlear implants, with little mention of the risks or uncertainty involved. Although videos may be useful as supplementary information, critical elements required to make an informed decision are lacking. This is of particular importance when patients are considering surgery.

Bilateral Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Although negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is widely used, its application to the head and neck region remains challenging due to anatomical complexities. This report presents the case of a female patient presenting with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes, uncontrolled diabetes and severe bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. The patient had undergone cochlear implant surgery and five months later the wound was infected with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). NPWT was started shortly after removing the internal receiver and was stopped 11 days later. NPWT helped in controlling infection and led to a successful wound closure. In this case, NPWT was effective in treating infectious wounds around the auricle after cochlear implant surgery.
