Use of a Fascial Pad to Help Electrode Insertion During Cochlear Implantation in Incomplete Partition Type III

Cochlear implantation surgery in the rare cases of incomplete partition type III is constrained by intraoperative difficulties that result from the deformed cochlea. Our case study describes the use of a supporting fascia pad that served as a track to preserve the direction of the electrode during insertion into the cochlear lumen.

Automated summary

This case study presents the use of a supporting fascia pad as a track to maintain the direction of the electrode during insertion into the cochlear lumen, in cases of incomplete partition type III that pose intraoperative difficulties due to a deformed cochlea.
