Early outcomes of simultaneous translabyrinthine resection and cochlear implantation
The Laryngoscope Apr 19, 2021
Conway RM, Tu NC, Sioshansi PC, et al. - Researchers conducted this prospective, nonrandomized study to assess the early outcomes of simultaneous cochlear implantation in patients with sporadic vestibular schwannoma (VS) undergoing translabyrinthine resection. Audiologic outcomes, primarily based on AzBIO in quiet and background noise, as well as consonant‐nucleus‐consonant testing of the affected ears, have been utilized. In addition, tinnitus, dizziness, and spatial hearing questionnaires were completed. The research involved 10 patients who were followed for three months. After a translabyrinthine approach to VS, simultaneous cochlear implantation is a promising treatment option for hearing loss. Such patients have improved hearing in background noise and tinnitus compared with their preoperative state. To assess which patients are the best candidates, more prognostic data are required.
