Objective: To identify the incidence of cochlear revision surgeries in adults, the main causes that led to these surgeries and to verify the improvement of the audiological results of these patients after the revision surgeries. Material and Methods: Retrospective study of patients older than 18 submitted to CI surgery from 2004 to 2016 at a Public Hospital in Brazil. The data collected were: age at the time of implantation, sex, etiology of deafness, audiological characteristics of each patient in the pre and postoperative period, and whether there was a need for surgical revision and reason for it. Results: One hundred and fifty-eight CI surgeries were performed in 137 patients. Seven patients underwent bilateral CI and 10 required revision surgery, of which six were female and four were male. Fourteen revision surgeries were necessary in these 10 patients (8.9% of the total surgeries). The most frequent cause that needed for revision surgery was the displacement of the internal unit (three cases) that needed to be repositioned. The mean age at first surgery was 46.9 years and the mean age at revision surgery was 47.3 years. The outcome of the audiometric threshold in the pre-IC phase was 112, 4 dB and post-revision surgery of HF was 33.1 dB. Conclusion: The revision surgery of the IC is infrequent and was effective in most cases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
