Systematic Review of Postcochlear Implant Electrode Migration: What Is Known?

Electrode migration is a major complication of CI and could be more common than previously thought. As it may occur with or without clinical complaints, long-term follow-up through routine radiological scanning is recommended. Further studies are warranted to identify the underlying mechanism of electrode extrusion and the appropriate fixation method.
