Cochlear patency problems in cochlear implantation [PDF]
The Laryngoscope, 1987 AbstractSensory deafness may be associated with partial or total obliteration of the cochlear scalae. Before undertaking cochlear implant surgery, a preoperative assessment of cochlear patency with high‐resolution computed tomography (CT) is indicated. To determine the accuracy of pre‐implant CT, a review of the radiographic and surgical findings in 36

Mastoid Surgery Does Not Normalize Tympanometric Middle Ear Pressure in Children With Cholesteatoma
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.Conflicting mechanism‐based hypotheses have been used to promote selection of different approaches to management of the mastoid in order to optimize middle ear pressure homeostasis after removal of cholesteatoma. For example: (a) conservation of mastoid mucosa and opening of ventilation pathways endoscopically to normalize function, (b) removal of ...
