暂无{Abstract}: &lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Introduction:&lt;/b&gt; In an era of wide accessibility to various systems for hearing impairment prosthetics, there exists a broad spectrum of surgical techniques facilitating system implantation.&lt;/br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Aim:&lt;/b&gt; The aim of the study is to present the technique of vertical incision in the implantation of the Baha Attract magnetic system as an alternative incision, maintaining a compromise between optimizing the surgical procedure and preserving the functionality and quality of life of the patient.&lt;/br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Materials and methods:&lt;/b&gt; The vertical incision technique is presented based on 5 patients treated between December 2022 and March 2023 diagnosed with conductive or mixed hearing loss.&lt;/br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Results:&lt;/b&gt; There were no adverse consequences or complications resulting from the performed surgical incision. All patients experienced uncomplicated healing. Patients are using sound processor magnets ranging from 4-5 in strength and Baha&lt;sup&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; 6 Max sound processors weighing 11.5 g.&lt;/br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/b&gt; The vertical incision technique serves as an alternative to the C-shaped perimeter incision, allowing for the optimization and standardization of the surgical procedure, resulting in a smooth scar formation and maintaining good audiological and aesthetic outcomes.&lt;/br&gt.
