The use of a simultaneous fascia lata-free flap with cochlear implantation after radical Mastoidectomy.

Various techniques including two-stage operations have been used. We report the novel technique with use of a vascularized fascia lata free flap for a patient undergoing cochlear implantation with radical mastoidectomy.
