Is cochlear implant surgery minimally invasive? Will it leave scars on the head and neck that will affect the aesthetics? With the development of technology and techniques, almost all surgical procedures are developing in the direction of minimally invasive surgery. The concept of minimally invasive surgery includes the following three aspects: 1. Micro-incision: The incision is designed according to the size of the implant, and the current standard for micro-incision is 3-100px behind the ear, which is very small compared to other surgical incisions. All of our cochlear implant surgeries use micro-incisions and cosmetic sutures, with small incisions and quick recovery, leaving no scars after surgery and not affecting the aesthetics; 2. Minimally invasive pathway: Cochlear implant surgery requires an incision behind the ear to enter the inner ear, and the minimally invasive pathway includes: less bone grinding, less bleeding, less damage, etc. Therefore, the minimally invasive pathway surgery has the obvious advantage of light symptoms and quick recovery. Cochlear implantation is a non-invasive method of implantation that protects the auditory structures of the inner ear and is performed through the natural opening of the cochlea (i.e., the round window), which does not damage the inner ear structures and does not damage the auditory nerve fibers of the cochlear inner membrane and basilar membrane. Our cochlear implant surgeries are all performed using the “non-invasive” inner ear round window implantation method, which results in rapid hearing recovery, high hearing sensitivity, stable hearing, and high patient satisfaction.
