Subtotal petrosectomy in cochlear implantation: Gruppo Otologico experience after 348 cases
Although in most cases, standardized trans mastoid facial recess technique for cochlear implantation is ideal as the surgical risks are minimal, in complicated cases such as concomitant chronic otitis media, prior canal wall-down cases, radical cavities, or inner ear abnormalities with high risk of cerebrospinal fluid leak subtotal petrosectomy should be the first choice of management with complete disease clearance. Close clinical and radiological follow-up is therefore mandatory. Single-stage implantation is preferred to staging the procedure unless one is unsure of disease clearance.
