This study focused on analyzing changes in osteoneogenesis and fibrosis following cochlear implant surgery in otosclerosis patients, comparing differences based on insertion technique. The cochleostomy approach was associated with significant fibrosis, osteoneogenesis, and cochlear hydrops, while the round window insertion technique helped minimize these histopathologic findings.
Objective: Analyze changes in osteoneogenesis and fibrosis following cochlear implant (CI) surgery in patients with otosclerosis and compare differences based on insertion technique. Background: When advanced otosclerotic disease extends to the otic capsule, severe and profound sensorineural hearing loss necessitates consideration of a cochlear implant. Histopathological analysis of the human temporal bone after implantation in the patient with otosclerosis may reveal important variables that predict CI success. Methods: Histopathological evaluation of archival human temporal bones from subjects with a history of CI for cochlear otosclerosis. A total of 17 human temporal bones (HTB) were analyzed, 13 implanted, and 4 contralateral non-implanted controls. Results: Histopathological studies revealed extensive osteoneogenesis and fibrosis which was more prominent at the cochleostomy insertion site in the basal turn of the cochlea often obliterating the scala tympani in the basal turn, and in some cases extending to the scala media and scala vestibuli. Cochlear hydrops was nearly universal in these cases. This contrasted with the round window insertion, which exhibited minimal osteoneogenesis within the cochlear duct. In addition, in the contralateral, unimplanted control ears, there was otosclerosis at the stapes footplate, fissula ante fenestrum but no osteoneogenesis within the cochlear duct. Conclusion: Cochleostomy approach to CI insertion in otosclerosis patients is associated with significant fibrosis, osteoneogenesis, and cochlear hydrops. A round window insertion technique can be utilized to help minimize these histopathologic findings whenever feasible.
