Digisonic Sp® Binaural Cochlear Implant: The Coronal Tunneled Approach [implante Coclear Digisonic Sp® Binaural: Acesso Coronal Tunelizado]

Cochlear implants represent a significant breakthrough in the treatment of hearing loss. Evidence indicates bilateral hearing brings significant benefits to patients, particularly when binaural hearing is offered. Objective: To describe the first case of implantation of a Digisonic SP® Binaural Neurelec device in Brazil (the third implant placed in the Americas, after Mexico and Colombia) and the chosen surgical approach. Method: Description of a surgical approach. Results: The procedure was successfully completed. Discussion: The squelch effect, binaural summation, location of the sound source, and the shadow effect of the head are listed among the reasons to explain the superiority of binaural rehabilitation. Cost of treatment must be considered in the development of public health policies. Conclusion: The cost of cochlear implants has been one of the main impediments to bilateral rehabilitation. The Digisonic SP® Binaural Neurelec device addresses this issue and exposes patients to less risk through a minimally invasive implantation procedure.793298305Fortunato-Tavares, T., Befi-Lopes, D., Bento, R.F., Andrade, C.R.F., Children with cochlear implants: Communication skills and quality of life (2011) Braz J Otorhinolaryngol, 78 (1), pp. 15-25Sprinzl, G.M., Riechelmann, H., Current trends in treating hearing loss in elderly people: A review of the technology and treatment options - a mini-review (2010) Gerontology, 56, pp. 351-358. , http://dx.doi.org/10.1159/000275062, PMid:20090297Turchetti, G., Bellelli, S., Palla, I., Forli, F., Systematic review of the scientific literature on the economic evaluation of cochlear implants in paediatric patients (2011) Acta Otorhinolaryngol Ital, 31 (5), pp. 311-318. , PMid:22287822 PMCid:3262412Brown, K.D., Balkany, T.J., Benefits of bilateral cochlear implantation: A review (2007) Curr Opin Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg, 15 (5), pp. 315-318. , http://dx.doi.org/10.1097/MOO.0b013e3282ef3d3e, PMid:17823546Guevara, N., Sterkers, O., Bébéar, J.P., Meller, R., Magnan, J., Mosnier, I., Multicenter evaluation of the digisonic SP cochlear implant fixation system with titanium screws in 156 patients (2010) Ann Otol Rhinol Laryngol, 119 (8), pp. 501-505. , PMid:20860274Truy, E., Ionescu, E., Ceruse, P., Gallego, S., The binaural digisonic co-chlear implant: Surgical technique (2002) Otol Neurotol, 23 (5), pp. 704-709. , http://dx.doi.org/10.1097/00129492-200209000-00017, PMid:12218623Litovsky, R., Parkinson, A., Arcaroli, J., Sammeth, C., Simultaneous bilateral cochlear implantation in adults: A multicenter clinical study (2006) Ear Hear, 27 (6), pp. 714-731. , http://dx.doi.org/10.1097/01.aud.0000246816.50820.42, PMid:17086081 PMCid:2651401Yoon, Y.S., Li, Y., Kang, H.Y., Fu, Q.J., The relationship between binaural benefit and difference in unilateral speech recognition performance for bilateral cochlear implant users (2011) Int J Audiol, 50 (8), pp. 554-565. , http://dx.doi.org/10.3109/14992027.2011.580785, PMid:21696329Freyman, R.L., Balakrishnan, U., Helfer, K.S., Spatial release from informational masking in speech recognition (2001) J Acoust Soc Am, 109 (5 PART 1), pp. 2112-2122. , http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1354984, PMid:11386563Hyppolito, M.A., Bento, R.F., Directions of the bilateral cochlear implant in Brazil (2012) Braz J Otorhinolaryngol, 78 (1), pp. 2-3. , PMid:22392231Culling, J.F., Jelfs, S., Talbert, A., Grange, J.A., Backhouse, S.S., The benefit of bilateral versus unilateral cochlear implantation to speech intelligibility in noise (2012) Ear Hear, 33 (6), pp. 673-682. , http://dx.doi.org/10.1097/AUD.0b013e3182587356, PMid:22717687Summerfield, A.Q., Barton, G.R., Getting acceptable value for money from bilateral cochlear implantation (2003) Cochlear Implants Int, 4 (SUPPL. 1), pp. 66-67. , http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/cii.112, PMid:18792183Verhaert, N., Lazard, D.S., Gnansia, D., Bébéar, J.P., Romanet, P., Meyer, B., Speech performance and sound localization abilities in Neurelec Digisonic® SP binaural cochlear implant users (2012) Audiol Neurootol, 17 (4), pp. 256-266. , http://dx.doi.org/10.1159/000338472, PMid:22584289Achiques, M.T., Morant, A., Muñoz, N., Marco, J., Llópez, I., Latorre, E., Cochlear implant complications and failures (2010) Acta Otorrinolaringol Esp, 61 (6), pp. 412-417. , http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.otorri.2010.07.005, PMid:20947060Brito, R., Monteiro, T.A., Leal, A.F., Tsuji, R.K., Pinna, M.H., Bento, R.F., Surgical complications in 550 consecutive cochlear implantation (2012) Braz J Otorhinolaryngol, 78 (3), pp. 80-85. , http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1808-86942012000300014, PMid:2271485
