Does Monopolar Electrosurgery Adversely Impact the Bone Conduction Hearing Implant Bonebridge?
No adverse events or hearing impairment were observed in this series of Bonebridge-implanted patients who underwent operations involving monopolar electrosurgery. Notably, the exposures were of relatively brief duration and limited to areas outside the ipsilateral temporoparietal region. Further multicenter, prospective studies with larger cohorts and comprehensive adverse event analysis are warranted to better corroborate these findings.
