“…The classic C type surgical method leaves a large scar, which may invade the inside of the hairline. However, the skin incision along the hairline showed little scarring even 6 month after surgery and did not disturb hair growth [16]. The uniform positions of the implants also enable wearing a hat.…”

“…The surgical location of the Baha Attract is the flat surface of the optimal surgical site of the temporal bone. The conditions for the magnet position of the Baha Attract are (1) a flat surface large enough for the magnet, (2) a depth of 4 mm or greater, and (3) easy exposure of the implantation site during surgery [1,11,15,16]. The safe zone, which satisfies all three conditions, can be roughly classified into two types: the conventional surgical site, where the implant is often located, and the optimal surgical site in the retrosigmoid area (Fig.…”

Objectives. To determine the appropriate anatomical borders of implantation on the temporal bone in a cadaver study, and to develop a simplified surgical technique for Baha Attract implantation through a small incision along the hairline using anatomical evidence and a navigation system.Methods. In a cadaver study, 20 human adult dry skulls were used to find flat areas of the temporal bone for Baha Attract magnet implantation. Four borders of the “optimal surgical site” were defined: Asterion line, occipitomastoid suture line, sigmoid sinus line, and digastric groove line. In three patients, we implanted the Baha Attract according to the newly developed surgical procedure and validated the feasibility of this technique with a navigation system.Results. We identified the appropriate position of the implant on the temporal bone, suggesting a simplified surgical technique for Baha Attract with a small incision. We determined the spot of implantation, and the implants were inserted through a small surgical incision (<2.5 cm) under local anesthesia; the procedure lasted approximately 30 minutes.Conclusion. The optimal surgical site of the temporal bone is a safe and easily accessible location for implantation of the Baha Attract.

“…With time, less invasive techniques for their placement have evolved with no difference in complication rates when compared to traditional flap techniques. 1,2 Newer implants with longer abutments have made simple punch incisions possible. This method decreases operative time and costs with no significant difference from traditional techniques with regard to postoperative pain and soft tissue reaction rates.…”
