Abstract
SUMMARY: In recent years, bone-anchored hearing implants (BAHIs) have found wider application in the treatment of conductive and mixed hearing loss. Several surgical techniques have been developed to reduce complications, enhance healing and improve audiological and aesthetic results. We report our experience on the use of three BAHI surgery techniques: Group 1, linear incision with thinning of the subcutaneous tissue; Group 2, linear incision without thinning of the subcutaneous tissue; Group 3, punch technique (Minimally Invasive Ponto Surgery, MIPS). We retrospectively analysed patients undergoing BAHI surgery; results were evaluated on the basis of any intra-operative complication, duration of surgery and occurrence of adverse effects at the implantation site over 1 year of follow-up. We collected a total of 30 implantations (12 for Group 1, 8 for Group 2, 10 for Group 3) with an intra-operative complication rate of 25%, 0% and 10%, respectively. The average surgical time was 62.08 minutes, 34.37 minutes and 18.7 minutes respectively. During follow-up, we reported the occurrence of adverse effects in 10.63% of observations in Group 1, 3.12% in Group 2 and 2.5% in Group 3. This study confirms the low rate of intra and postoperative complications during BAHI surgery and documents the simplicity of execution of the novel MIPS technique, with a significant reduction in surgical time compared to the other two techniques, and positive effects in terms of health care costs.
