Revision surgery following minimally invasive image‐guided cochlear implantation

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.
