Abstract:Objective
Precise electrode positioning is crucial for achieving optimal audiological outcomes in cochlear implantation. The slim modiolar electrode (SME), a thin, flexible, and precurved electrode, exhibits favorable modiolar proximity. However, tip fold-over can affect optimal electrode placement. Herein, we share our experiences with tip fold-over in SMEs and present an analysis of conditions that may predispose to tip fold-over.
