Abstract
Reimplantation of cochlear prostheses was reviewed for 130 cases of nucleus cochlear implants. Nine patients who underwent reimplantation due to postoperative complications were analyzed. The causes of reimplantation included slipping out of the electrodes in 6 patients and mechanical failure of the electrodes in 3. Reimplantation was difficult in some patients because of massive fibrosis and ossification of the cochlear lumen. Postoperative hearing was correlated with the number of reinserted electrodes.
