Abstract

The article systematically reviews the outcomes of cochlear implantation surgery comparing three types of electrode arrays: lateral wall, midscalar, and perimodiolar electrodes. It finds that lateral and midscalar electrodes have higher rates of preserving residual hearing (53% and 58%, respectively) compared to perimodiolar electrodes, which are associated with a higher rate of cochlear trauma (29%). The study concludes that lateral and midscalar electrodes are more effective in preserving functional residual hearing in patients with profound sensorineural hearing loss. The review is based on 31 screened studies involving human patients and assessed using the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute quality tool.
