¸ñÀû: To evaluate the effectiveness of the SmartNav technology in detection of the well-known phenomenon of tip fold-over (TFO) during cochlear implantation (CI) using slim modiolar electrode (SME), comparing it to intraoperative X-ray imaging. ¹æ¹ý:In 124 ears with normal anatomy that underwent CI using SME at a tertiary center, SmartNav results were compared to intraoperative X-ray findings, with X-ray used as the gold standard for verifying TFO. °á°ú:SmartNav identified all 7 TFO cases (100% sensitivity, 99.15% specificity) confirmed by X-ray, including one with subtle distal kinking that X-ray could have missed. Additionally, SmartNav technology was effective in cases with cochlear nerve deficiency and performed reliably under local anesthesia and in revision surgeries. °á·Ð:SmartNav offers a highly sensitive and reliable method for detecting TFO during CI at least in normal cochlear anatomy, dramatically reducing the need for intraoperative X-ray, thereby decreasing anesthesia time and eliminating radiation exposure.
