Changes in Revision Cochlear Implantation and Device Failure Profiles

CONCLUSION: Although the overall survival of CI appears to be stable, device failure is still the most common cause of RCIs. In addition, the pattern of revision has changed, such as flap retention issue and electrode tip fold-over, particularly for the recently released implant models. Due to the clinical significance of device failure and re-operation, clinicians should be aware of and respond to these changes.PMID:38228133 | DOI:10.21053/ceo.2023.00010
