“…It has been suggested that the higher rate of revisions among the pediatric population is due to the greater incidence of trauma and infection (3,4,8,13). In our series, no overt history of trauma was given by any patient experiencing device failure.…”

All reimplanted patients with available data had good audiometric outcomes, with the exception of those reimplanted for soft failure who had poor immediate auditory function. Using the manufacturers' recommended surgical technique, including drilling a bony recess with suture fixation, very low surgical revision rates were achieved. Pediatric patients experienced significantly higher complications requiring CIR. All hard failures in this series occurred in the pediatric group and in a single device. Continued follow-up will be needed to determine if additional devices will succumb to this mode of failure.

“…Previous studies have demonstrated a similarly increased incidence, and have concluded that this is a consequence of child-play and learning to walk. 7,14 The mean age for traumatic failure in our study was 4.2 years. It is of interest to note that some manufacturers exclude traumatic device failure data from cumulative survival reporting.…”

“…Currently, a revision rate of 5% appears to be a reasonable estimate (9, 13). In the present study, the revision rate was 4.2%, which concurs with previous reports.…”

ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical features of cochlear reimplantation due to device failure.MethodsThe medical records of 30 patients who had undergone a revision cochlear implantation were retrospectively reviewed. Causes of revision operations, number of electrode channels inserted, and postoperative speech performances were analyzed.ResultsDevice failure (N=12, 38.7%) and hematoma (N=3, 9.6%) were the two most common reasons for revision surgery. In patients with device failure, the number of electrode channels reinserted was equal to, or more than the number of channels inserted during initial implantation. Speech performance scores remained the same, or improved after reimplantation in patients with device failure.ConclusionDevice failure was the most common cause of revision operation in patients with cochlear implanttion. Contrary to expectation, new electrodes were fully inserted without difficulty in all reimplantation cases. Intracochlear damage due to reimplantation appeared to be clinically insignificant.
