ABSTRACT Sensoneural hearing loss is a polyetiological disease, which is often a secondary reflection of systemic pathology and is associated with damage of the cochlea and auditory nerve receptors. An important point in the surgical stage of cochlear implantation is the introduction of an implant active electrode into the cochleostomy spiral channel through the cochleostoma or round window. However, the issue of intra-cochlear structures surgical trauma in such surgical intervention seems to be very important, as it may reduce the success of subsequent rehabilitation. Therefore, the study of the anatomy of the round window and adjuscent areas was the objective of this work. PMID:34783472 | DOI:10.17116/otorino20218605142 View on the web Inoreader.
