Abstrakt: This article focuses on long-term results in cochlear implantation in chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM). A variety of techniques have been described to facilitate cochlear implantation in the presence of CSOM, with particular emphasis on middle-ear obliteration and blind-sac closure of the external auditory canal. Perforations in the eardrums that continue to discharge despite adequate medical treatment are treated with combined cortical mastoidectomy and myringoplasty to ensure the eradication of infection from the middle ear cleft.
