Journal Title: Dicle Tıp Dergisi - Year 2012, Vol 39, Issue 2
Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze the etiology, surgical methods and complications of the patients who underwent cochlear implantation (CI) for bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. Materials and methods: Between October 2010 and February 2012, 36 patients who underwent CI were retrospectively analyzed in terms of age, sex, etiology of hearing loss, surgical approach and complications. Results: The age range of patients was 1-52 years [15 female (% 41.7), 21 male (% 58.3]. Thirty-three of the patients (average age 4.2±1.8) were in pediatric age group, remaining three patients (29, 45, 51 years old) were adult. All of pediatric patients were diagnosed as congenital hearing loss (31 patients idiopathic, 1 Goldenhar syndrome, 1 ectodermal dysplasia). Adult patients were operated due to hearing loss secondary to bilateral temporal bone fracture, chronic otitis media surgery, and meningitis. Thirty-four patients operated via a mastoidectomy- posterior tympanotomy and extended round window approach. One patient operated via a suprameatal approach. One patient was operated using two-stage procedure. Three patients had a perilymph gusher. No major or minor complications occurred in patients. We operated the selected patients as a beginner cochlear implant center. Conclusion: Despite limited number of our study group, it can be concluded that cochlear implantaiton is an effective treatment for adults and children with profound bilateral sensorineural deafness. It was found as a safe low morbidity technique with low complication rates in the presented patients.
