Abstrakt: Aims: Cochlear implantation is becoming the standard treatment for rehabilitating patients with sensorineural hearing (SNH) impairment. Various techniques can be used to achieve this goal. In the current study, we compared the subperiosteal technique (SPT) with the development of a subperiosteal pocket without fixation to the well-drilling method (WD) by constructing an incision into the scalp with suture fixation. Materials and methods: Our study weighted the efficiency of children who underwent WD or SPT from 2017 to 2021 at King Abdulaziz University Hospital. In this retrospective records review, we compared 63 SPT cases with 104 WD cases during a 5-year period who were followed for 1 month or more. Results: There were 88 females (50.9%) and 79 male (45.7%) with a mean age of 4.49 ± 3.06 years at the time of surgery. The mean WD duration was 2.47 ± 1.05 h, and 2.91 ± 1.05 h for SPT (P = 0.01). Moreover, there was a significant relationship between comorbidities and electrode complications (P = 0.022). There was no significant correlation between the surgical method and intraoperative complications (P = 0.714), electrode array issues (P = 0.88), or serious postoperative complications including device failure and migration skin problems (P = 0.207). Conclusion: Overall, the WD technique was faster. However, both methods can be used safely and effectively, as no significant intraoperative or postoperative complications were observed. Further long-term studies are required to validate our findings. Key Messages: SPT takes longer to fixate than WD. neither technique showed any notable intraoperative or postoperative problems, indicating that both can be used securely and successfully.
