Cochlear Implantation after Radical Mastoidectomy: Management of a Challenging Case

Abstract

Due to increasing experience and technological improvement, the selection criteria for cochlear implantation have improved. Cochlear implant application can now be performed in selected patients with pathological middle ear lesions. The surgical approach to a patient with a history of bilateral radical mastoidectomy is addressed in detail. The benefits of cochlear implantation in this case are also discussed.
