Abstract
Background: Preservation of intracochlear structures and residual hearing has become a major concern in modern cochlear implant. Consequently, many efforts have been made to minimize intraoperative trauma, especially while cochlear fenestration and electrode insertion.
Methods: Building on the core concept of "soft surgery", a modified approach, described as diving technique for cochlear implant electrode array insertion is proposed. Steps and technical points are presented with figures, video and review of relevant anatomy.
Conclusions: This novel diving technique is operationally feasible and safe, promising to minimize intraoperative invasion and thus preserve residual hearing in cochlear implant.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
