Abstrakt: Background: Preservation of intracochlear structures and residual hearing has become a major concern in modern cochlear implant. Consequently, many efforts have been made to minimize intraoperative trauma, especially while cochlear fenestration and electrode insertion.
Methods: Building on the core concept of "soft surgery", a modified approach, described as diving technique for cochlear implant electrode array insertion is proposed. Steps and technical points are presented with figures, video and review of relevant anatomy.
Conclusions: This novel diving technique is operationally feasible and safe, promising to minimize intraoperative invasion and thus preserve residual hearing in cochlear implant.
