Cochlear implant electrode array insertion monitoring with intra-operative 3D rotational X-ray

Keypoints • During cochlear implantation surgery, we use a mobile C‐arm with 3D functionality to acquire per‐operative 3D X‐ray images. • Scanning the multielectrode array is performed once before removal of the stylet and once after full insertion. • When dissatisfied with the position of the multi...

Description
Summary:Keypoints • During cochlear implantation surgery, we use a mobile C‐arm with 3D functionality to acquire per‐operative 3D X‐ray images. • Scanning the multielectrode array is performed once before removal of the stylet and once after full insertion. • When dissatisfied with the position of the multielectrode a repositioning is considered which happened occasionally. • The major advantage is the extra certainty of the multielectrode array position in the cochlea with low‐dose and little extra time. • All cochlear implantations are now routinely scanned during surgery.
