Preoperative Diagnosis: Sensorineural hearing loss
Postoperative Diagnosis: Sensorineural hearing loss
Procedure: Right cochlear implant that is a nucleus contour advance multi-channel device. Need Assignment Help?
Procedure Notes: A general endotracheal anesthetic was administered. The right ear was examined and there was no evidence of ear infection. The right ear and face were prepped and draped in the standard sterile fashion. An extended postauriclar incision (small incision made in the right inner ear) was created and brought down to the subgaleal level. Flaps were elevated and periosteal incisions were designed. The mastoid was widely exposed. A recess was created to accommodate the receiver/stimulator case. Mastoidotomy was then performed. The area of the aditus was identified and the short process of the incus exposed. The facial recess was opened. The promontory was identified. The stapes and the area of the oval window was exposed as was the round window niche. A cochleostomy was performed. Holes were created at the lateral aspect of the receiver/stimulator recess and the mastoidotomy. The wound was irrigated copiously with sterile saline. The device was then introduced into the field and secured in the recess. The ground electrode was placed deep to the temporalis fascia. The electrode array was inserted, and a complete insertion was obtained with an advance off stylet technique. The cochleostomy was packed with soft tissue from the lateral incision. The stylet was removed, and the wound was closed. (There are multiple steps to a cochlear implant but only 1 code is needed as these steps are all considered part of the procedure.)
