With rapid innovation in and expanding indications for cochlear implantation (CI), changes in the features of revision CI (RCI) appear to be emerging. This study aims to investigate the changes in RCI profile and discuss their clinical significance. Methods. A retrospective chart review was performed for all CIs performed at a tertiary medical institution between October 2001 and January 2023. The rate and reasons for RCI were evaluated and examined in terms of the manufacturer and device model. The Kaplan-Meier curve was used to examine the cumulative and device survival curves. In addition, the cumulative and device survivals were further analyzed based on age group, time period of primary CI, and manufacturer. Cox proportional hazards model was used to evaluate the association between RCI and manufacturers. Results. Among 1,430 CIs, 73 RCIs were conducted (5.1%).

Methods: The medical records of 77 patients with T1–2 primary parotid malignancies between May 2003 and March 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to evaluate the prognostic factors associated with overall survival, disease-free survival, and local and distant recurrences. Results: The average follow-up duration was 70.2 months (range,12–202 months). The 5-year overall and disease-free survival rates were 88.7% and 77.1%, respectively. Twenty-two patients underwent partial parotidectomy, and 55 underwent superficial or total parotidectomy. There were no significant differences in the disease recurrence ( p =0.320) and mortality rates ( p =0.884) of the partial and superficial or total parotidectomy groups. The mean duration of surgery was shorter and the overall complication rates were significantly lower for the partial group than for the superficial or total parotidectomy group ( p =0.049). Sixteen cases of recurrence occurred during the study period (20.8%).
