ABSTRACT
Background and Objectives: The surgical complications of the cochlear implantation are rare but most of them are flap-related. The author simplified the previous minimal incision with operating microscope only. The minimal incision method was compared retrospectively with the conventional incision method. Materials and Methods: The approach with “V” shaped incision less than 4 cm was done to nine patients. Eight patients were done with the conventional “S” shaped incision. These results of the both methods were analyzed. Results: There is no major complication in both groups. One case of the conventional method group showed the hematoma. One case with the minimal incision method showed the erythema. Conclusions: The minimal incision surgery for the cochlear implant is possible to perform without major complications and large scars.
