METHODS: Building on the core concept of \"soft surgery\", a modified approach, described as diving technique for cochlear implant electrode array insertion is proposed. Steps and technical points are presented with figures, video and review of relevant anatomy.
CONCLUSIONS: This novel diving technique is operationally feasible and safe, promising to minimize intraoperative invasion and thus preserve residual hearing in cochlear implant.
方法:建立在“软手术”的核心概念上,一种改进的方法,提出了一种用于耳蜗植入电极阵列插入的潜水技术。步骤和技术要点用数字表示,视频和相关解剖学的回顾。
结论:这种新颖的潜水技术在操作上可行且安全,有望最大程度地减少术中侵入,从而保留人工耳蜗中的残余听力。
