Abstract
Objective: This study is to evaluate the results obtained in a group of implanted otosclerotic patients and compare them with a matching group of non- otosclerosis cochlear implant patients.
Methods: Pre-operative computed tomographic scans, intra-operative findings, type of electrode used and difficulties of 17 patients with otosclerosis were documented. Post-operative complications, facial nerve stimulation, electrode dislocation and audiological and speech outcomes were documented and the data analysed.
Results: Surgical difficulties were directly related to the advanced stage of the disease. No major complications were reported in this cohort. No significant difference was found between both groups one year after surgery; the mean pure tone average was 35 dB ± 4.43, speech reception threshold was 40 ± 4.96 and speech discrimination score was 80 per cent ± 12.55 in the otosclerotic group.
Conclusion: Cochlear implantation is a safe and effective management for advanced otosclerosis patients even after stapes surgery.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Laryngology & Otology (JLO) is a leading, monthly journal containing original scientific articles and clinical records in otology, rhinology, laryngology and related specialties. Founded in 1887, JLO is absorbing reading for ENT specialists and trainees. The journal has an international outlook with contributions from around the world, relevant to all specialists in this area regardless of the country in which they practise. JLO contains main articles (original, review and historical), case reports and short reports as well as radiology, pathology or oncology in focus, a selection of abstracts, book reviews, letters to the editor, general notes and calendar, operative surgery techniques, and occasional supplements. It is fully illustrated and has become a definitive reference source in this fast-moving subject area. Published monthly an annual subscription is excellent value for money.
