Comparison of Cochlear Implantation Complications with Subperiosteal Pocket Technique Versus Well-Drilling Technique in Pediatric Patients: A Retrospective Study.

ABSTRACT: Aims: Cochlear implantation is becoming the standard treatment for rehabilitating patients with sensorineural hearing (SNH) impairment. Various techniques can be used to achieve this goal. In the current study, we compared the subperiosteal technique (SPT) with the development of a subperiosteal pocket without fixation to the well-drilling method (WD) by constructing an incision into the scalp with suture fixation. Materials and methods: Our study weighted the efficiency of children who underwent WD or SPT from 2017 to 2021 at King Abdulaziz University Hospital. In this retrospective records review, we compared 63 SPT cases with 104 WD cases during a 5-year period who were followed for 1 month or more.
