OBJECTIVES: To implement a minimal invasive approach in cochlear implant surgery for children and adults. In order to decrease surgical complications and morbidity with the surgery. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: During a 1-year period, 12 consecutive patients (5 female and 7 male; age range, 1.5 to 78 years; mean age, 14.5 years), who had cochlear implantation (1 Nucleus and 11 Clarion) through a new surgical approach, were prospectively evaluated. RESULTS: The surgical approach was accomplished in all the patients with no major complications. The mean surgical time was 3.2 hours and the mean time between surgery and process of programming was 2.7 weeks. CONCLUSION: The surgical trauma and postoperatory edema was decreased and allowed programming of the implant in a shorter period of time.

Temporal Bone Anatomy

Objectives 1) Identify anatomic variations of the temporal bone in children with and without cochlear malformations who experienced an intra-operative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) gusher at the time of cochlear implantation. 2) Compare the anatomic findings in the current study to those described in prior studies. Methods A retrospective case-controlled chart review was performed on patients undergoing cochlear implant surgery. Computerized tomography images were analyzed in a single-blind fashion for characteristics and measurements of both the right and left cochlea, internal auditory canal, cochlear aperture, facial nerve canal, vestibular aqueduct, cochlear aqueduct, oval window, round window, vestibule, mastoid, tegmen tympani and semi-circular canals. After verifying equal variances, data was statistically evaluated utilizing the paired 2-tailed t test with criterion for statistical significance set at p < 0.05. Results The average age at implantation for this series of children was 4 years old. 70% of patients had cochlear malformations. 25% of patients had an abnormal internal auditory canal (IAC) and 30% had a widened cochlear aperture. Most patients with an abnormal IAC had an abnormal cochlear aperture; however, some patients with a normal IAC also had an abnormal cochlear aperture. Correlations between the temporal bone anatomy and the incidence of CSF gushers will be discussed. Conclusions Specific characteristics of the temporal bone anatomy may lead to an increased incidence of CSF gusher in cochlear implant surgery. Computerized tomography of the temporal bone can assist in the surgeon in evaluation and planning for cochlear implantation.

ABSTRACT Background: Laparoscopic best approach of repairing inguinoscrotal hernias are still debatable. Incorrect handling of the distal sac can possibly result in damage to cord structures and negative postoperative outcomes as ischemic orquitis or inguinal neuralgia. Aim: To describe a new technique for a minimally invasive approach to inguinoscrotal hernias and to analyze the preliminary results of patients undergoing the procedure. Methods: A review of a prospectively maintained database was conducted in patients who underwent minimally invasive repair using the “primary abandon-of-the-sac” (PAS) technique for inguinoscrotal hernias. Patient´s demographics, as well as intraoperative variables and postoperative outcomes were also analyzed. Results: Twenty-six male were submitted to this modified procedure. Mean age of the case series was 53.8 years (range 34-77) and body mass index was 26.8 kg/m2 (range 20.8-34.2). There were no intraoperative complications or conversion. Average length of stay was one day. No surgical site infections, pseudo hydrocele or neuralgia were reported after the procedure and two patients presented seroma. No inguinal hernia recurrence was verified during the mean 21.4 months of follow up. Conclusion: The described technique is safe, feasible and reproducible, with good postoperative results.
