Cochlear implant surgery is novel surgical approach to address deafness and sensorineural hearing loss. The surgery consists of implanting a cochlear implant device that resides externally and receives and processes sound, and an internal component that transmits the received sound and stimulates the cochlear nerve[1][2]. This surgery has been applied to post-lingual adults and prelingual children with hearing loss. Typically, during surgery, a 2-channel electrode is used to monitor the upper and lower divisions of the facial nerve. The classical approach is a posterior tympanotomy - used both for adults and children. A suprameatal approach is reserved for patients with anatomical variations.
Preoperative management
Patient evaluation
| System | Considerations |
|---|---|
| Neurologic | |
| Cardiovascular | |
| Respiratory | |
| Gastrointestinal | |
| Hematologic | |
| Renal | |
| Endocrine | |
| Other |
Labs and studies
Operating room setup
- Standard GA setup
- Consider straight connector with accordion to ETT
- Circuit extensions for 180-degree supine position
Patient preparation and premedication
Regional and neuraxial techniques
Intraoperative management
Monitoring and access
- Facial nerve monitoring
- PIV (consider 2nd IV in lower extremity with 180-degree positioning)
Induction and airway management
- GETA
Positioning
- 180-degree turn (head is away from anesthesia team)
- Head positioned away from operating site.
- Surgeons may conduct frequent head position changes intraoperatively
Maintenance and surgical considerations
- Avoid paralytics to maintain facial nerve monitoring. Consider high-depth of anesthesia or remifentanil infusion
- During microscopy, minimize patient movement
- Volatile anesthetics are appropriate despite facial nerve monitoring
Emergence
Postoperative management
Disposition
- PACU
- Home-discharge
Pain management
- Oral narcotics
- Multi-modal, non-narcotic medications
Potential complications
- PONV
Procedure variants
