Abstract
During cochlear implantation surgery, we use a mobile C-arm with 3D functionality to acquire per-operative 3D X-ray images. Scanning the multielectrode array is performed once before removal of the stylet and once after full insertion. When dissatisfied with the position of the multielectrode a repositioning is considered which happened occasionally. The major advantage is the extra certainty of the multielectrode array position in the cochlea with low-dose and little extra time. All cochlear implantations are now routinely scanned during surgery.
