| Abstract | Hypothesis: Trauma to the osseous spiral lamina (OSL) or spiral ligament (SL) during cochlear implant (CI) insertion segregates with electrode type and induces localized intracochlear ossification and fibrosis. Background: The goal of atraumatic CI insertion is to preserve intracochlear structures, limit reactive intracochlear tissue formation, and preserve residual hearing. Previous qualitative studies hypothesized a localized effect of trauma on intracochlear tissue formation; however, quantitative studies failed to confirm this. Methods: Insertional trauma beyond the immediate insertion site was histologically assessed in 21 human temporal bones with a CI. Three-dimensional reconstructions were generated and virtually resectioned perpendicular to the cochlear spiral at high resolution. The cochlear volume occupied by ossification or fibrosis was determined at the midpoint of the trauma and compared with regions proximal and distal to this point. Results: Seven cases, all implanted with precurved electrodes, showed an OSL fracture beyond the immediate insertion site. Significantly more intracochlear ossification was observed at the midpoint of the OSL fracture, compared with the -26 to -18 degrees proximal and 28 to 56 degrees distal to the center. No such pattern was observed for fibrosis. In the 12 cases with a perforation of the SL (9 straight and 3 precurved electrodes), no localized pattern of ossification or fibrosis was observed around these perforations. Conclusion: OSL fractures were observed exclusively with precurved electrodes in this study and may serve as a nidus for localized intracochlear ossification. Perforation of the SL, in contrast, predominantly occurred with straight electrodes and was not associated with localized ossification. |
