Title:
Cochlear implantation via the round window membrane minimizes trauma to cochlear structures: a histologically controlled insertion study.
Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate cochlear implant trauma to intracochlear structures when inserting the electrode via the round window membrane. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Eight fresh human temporal bones were evaluated histologically after insertion using two types of cochlear implant array. Bones underwent a special fixation and embedding procedure that allowed sectioning of undecalcified bone with the electrode in situ. Insertions depths were evaluated radiologically and histologically. RESULTS: All arrays...     »
