Cochlear Implant in Common Cavity


Abstract in English

to evaluate the results of cochlear implant operations performed on patients with common cavity anomalies in the inner ear; whereas, the ear stopped developing at the end of the third week. In the past, the presence of any anomaly in the cochlea was considered a counter-indication for surgery but experimentation has been carried out worldwide and there were some major breakthroughs, which encouraged other centers worldwide to carry out this surgery and I was encouraged myself to perform 3 surgeries.
