In selected adult subjects, tonsillectomy with intercurrent nasal surgery should be considered an effective treatment for OSA and may reduce the requirement for continuous positive airway pressure, oral appliances, or further therapeutic intervention.

Cochlear trauma influenced postimplantation hearing loss and steroid effect on fibrosis. Fibrosis, and to a lesser extent, postimplantation hearing loss increased proportionally to the depth of insertion. Steroids did not influence fibrosis relating to the cochleostomy, but could reduce scarring as the electrode negotiated the hook region or near the electrode tip.
