| Abstract: | The aims of this study are to report on our experiences using a bone paté (a mixture of bone dust and fibrin glue) fixation technique of the Combi 40/Combi 40+ electrode array during cochlear implant surgery. A retrospective study involving 57 patients implanted with Combi 40/Combi 40+ cochlear implants over 31 months fixated with bone paté was performed, utilizing our electrical fitting data as well as re-operation and X-ray findings. We found no signs of electrode retraction in any of the 57 patients. Electrical fitting data showed no reduction in the number of active channels between the first and last times patients were evaluated (a period of 4-31 months). Furthermore, a comparison of X-rays performed within the first week following cochlear implant surgery and again 7-27 months later showed no signs of electrode retraction in 10 patients. Three patients who required re-operations after implantation allowed us the opportunity to examine the effectiveness of the bone paté fixation and revealed new bone growth with the electrode fixed in place. Histological examinations of the newly built bone showed laminar and compact bone structures. The use of bone paté was thus found to be a suitable method of electrode fixation in cochlear implant surgery. Compared with other fixation methods, it is inexpensive and uses no foreign materials.
