A monocenter, patient-blinded, randomized, parallel-group, non-inferiority study to compare cochlear implant receiver/stimulator device fixation techniques (COMFIT) with and without drilling in adults eligible for primary cochlear implantation
DiscussionCochlear implantation by means of creating a tight subperiosteal pocket without drilling a bony seat is a minimally invasive fixation technique with many advantages. However, the safety of this technique has not yet been proven with certainty. This is the first randomized controlled trial that directly compares the minimally invasive technique with the conventional method of drilling a bony seat.Trial registrationNetherlands Trial Register NL9698.
