Abstract
Minimally invasive image-guided cochlear implantation (CI) research continues to progress. We previously performed the procedure in nine patients. Herein, we describe the first revision operation for device failure following minimally invasive image-guided CI. It was possible to reuse the original drill channel, obviating the need to convert to a wide-field mastoidectomy. Revision surgery, if required, can therefore be performed safely after minimally invasive image-guided CI. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: NA Laryngoscope, 129:1458-1461, 2019.
