Abstrakt: We have evaluated the utility, indications and disadvantages of the Ultracision harmonic scalpel, in the cochlear implants, and his advantages compare to other electrocoagulation's systems. These aspects were evaluated in 50 cases of cochlear implants, made along the last years. We concluded that the Ultracision harmonic scalpel is indicated, mainly, in the otology field, in these situations in wich the cochlear implant is in the cochlea, and is mandatory the use of an electrocoagulation system. In this situation, the Ultracision harmonic scalpel was quick, safe and sure, and with many advantages, over the traditional scalpel and the bipolar diathermy.
