Secretory otitis media (SOM) is a common childhood disease. The goal of the present study was to determine the influence of mastoidectomy on the incidence of postimplantation SOM in cochlear implant children. We conducted a retrospective study of all the children up to the age of 8 years, who underwent cochlear implantation from 1993 to 2001 in our department. The children were divided into two groups according to the surgical technique used for the implantation: 94 children underwent implantation with the posterior tympanotomy approach (including mastoidectomy) and 48 children were implanted with a suprameatal approach (without mastoidectomy). The incidence of SOM before and after the implantation was compared between the two groups. There were no significant differences between the two study groups in terms of age and the pre- and postimplantation incidence of SOM. Mastoidectomy failed to demonstrate any influence on the natural history of SOM.

“…A survey showed that 56% of surgeons would place a cochlear implant in a patient with a clean, dry ventilation tube, and more than half of the surgeons would place a ventilation tube in a child with serous otitis media, let the ear recover, and perform the cochlear implant at a second operation [11]. However, recent reports have demonstrated that CI could be performed safely in patients with a history of AOM or chronic otitis media, and that a significant delay was not warranted in these patients [6,7]. A prospective study [3,7], with a cohort of 60 children of which 34 were classified as OM-prone, reported that no complications were observed in the OM-prone children receiving a cochlear implant, even in the children experiencing an episode of AOM after implantation.…”

“…Since the well-established benefits of cochlear implants and improved surgical techniques have made CI feasible in the presence of otitis media, children with otitis media do not require a delay in implantation [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]. In this report, we review our experience by retrospectively studying data collected from 30 children with OME receiving CI in one stage.…”

Aims: To discuss indications and surgical techniques for cochlear implantation (CI) in children with profound sensorineural hearing loss and otitis media with effusion (OME). Methods: Between January 2003 and May 2013, a total of 550 patients received cochlear implants at the Anhui Provincial Hospital, Hefei, China. Of these, 30 children with OME underwent CI with round window insertion in one stage. Results: One-stage operations of CI with round window insertion were carried out in 30 children with OME. All electrodes were implanted successfully. CI was performed without complications and the electrode arrays were protected well. All implant devices worked normally and all patients performed well during an average follow-up period of 12 months. None of the patients experienced any immediate or delayed postoperative infection-related complications. Conclusions: CI with round window insertion could be safely and effectively performed in one stage in children with profound sensorineural hearing loss and OME. It is unnecessary to delay implantation to control OME, but it remains a challenging problem in operation.
