Variation of the cochlear anatomy and cochlea duct length: analysis with a new tablet-based software

Jennifer L. Spiegel et al.

Summary: Preoperative planning in cochlear implantation is crucial for preventing complications and addressing individual needs. A tablet-based software was used to measure cochlear duct length (CDL), revealing significant differences in CDL values between sexes but not between sides or ages. The study suggests the need for longer cochlear implant electrodes to better accommodate individual anatomical variations.

On the Intracochlear Location of Straight Electrode Arrays After Cochlear Implantation: How Lateral Are Lateral Wall Electrodes?

Rolf Salcher et al.

Summary: The study utilized a retrospective analysis of patient data sets to examine the position of electrode arrays within the cochlea. Coating electrode contacts with swelling hydrogels proved effective in bridging the gap between the electrode array and the cochlear wall, facilitating focused electrical stimulation of individual spiral ganglion neurons. While there were no significant differences in the distances from each electrode contact to the cochlear walls within each patient, there were significant variations between different contacts within the same patient.

Precise Evaluation of the Cochlear Duct Length by Flat-panel Volume Computed Tomography (fpVCT)-Implication of Secondary Reconstructions

Philipp Schendzielorz et al.

Summary: This study aims to compare flat-panel volume computed tomography (fpVCT) and secondary reconstruction methods for more accurate measurements of two-turn length and cochlear duct length. The results indicate that secondary reconstruction is suitable for accurate measurements of 2TL and CDL, but there is an underestimation of angular length using this method.

Assessment of Inter- and Intra-Rater Reliability of Tablet-Based Software to Measure Cochlear Duct Length

Shayna P. Cooperman et al.

Summary: The study aimed to validate the software for measuring cochlear duct length (CDL) by greatly expanding the sample size and investigating the influence of computed tomography (CT) slice thickness on measurement reliability. The results demonstrated that the software produced reliable CDL measurements between and within raters, irrespective of CT scan thickness.

On the Accuracy of Clinical Insertion Angle Predictions With a Surgical Planning Platform for Cochlear Implantation

Emilio Avallone et al.

Summary: The cochlea has been shown to vary in size and shape between subjects, leading to the development of a surgical planning platform to predict insertion angles of MED-EL cochlear implant electrode arrays. Most prediction deviations stayed below 45 degrees, with the updated elliptic-circular approximation approach providing more accurate results for cochlear anatomies with unique features.
