¸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. |
