The surgical anatomy for multiple-electrode extracochlear implant operations.
Direct access to the whole length of the cochlear turns via endaural middle ear approach for the placement of extracochlear electrodes is severely restricted. Approximately 10 mm. of the cochlear turns are accessible, being less than a third of their length. The middle cranial fossa, the facial nerve, the internal carotid artery and the temporomandibular joint restrict the access. A further res...
متن کاملImplantation of the Melbourne/Cochlear multiple-electrode extracochlear prosthesis.
The Melbourne/Cochlear multiple-electrode extracochlear implant is designed for deaf patients who are unsuited to multiple-electrode intracochlear implantation. The implant consists of a receiver-stimulator package connected via a lead wire assembly to six individual stimulating electrodes. There is a choice of two alternative surgical procedures, both of which are via a combined middle ear app...
متن کاملDetection of intracochlear damage during cochlear implant electrode insertion using extracochlear measurements in the gerbil.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS An intraoperative monitoring algorithm during cochlear implant electrode insertion could be used to detect trauma and guide electrode placement relative to surviving hair cells. The aim of this report was to assess the feasibility of using extracochlear recording sites to monitor acoustically evoked responses from surviving hair cells and neural elements during implantatio...
متن کاملA multiple-electrode array for a cochlear implant.
A satisfactory multiple-electrode array for a cochlear implant has been developed. This can be passed around the turns of the cochlea if it is first introduced into the scala tympani through an opening in the apical turn.
متن کاملMultiple-organizational coordination planning for humanitarian relief operations
In humanitarian relief operations (HRO), due to the excessive number of relief organizations, multiple organizational coordination is a demanding and complicated task. Considering such a problem, this paper proposes a two-phase mechanism to coordinate multiple heterogeneous relief organizations in a decentralized HRO logistics network. To address such a problem, first a bi-level mixed integer l...
