6.　Otology International Symposium: Korea-Thailand-Japan Joint Session

I will discuss CI reimplantation in SNUH.We have documented reimplantation rates at a cumulative 2 9, with children accounting for 3 2 and adults at 1 9.The causative etiologies encompass hard failures, soft failures, electrode displacements, magnet relocations necessitating reimplantation, and patients' elective preference for CI upgrade.A staggering 80 of cases were attributed to hard failures.The median interim between the first implantation and its replacement was approximately 51 months.While outcomes post-reimplantation are predominantly favorable, they do not guarantee significant improvements across all cases.It is imperative to note our results that reimplantation carries no additional risks, thus emphasizing its safety profile.However, otologists are compelled to judiciously appraise the indications and the prospective advantages of such procedures overall.I will conclude my talk with illustrative cases on reimplantation.
