Clinical Validation of Percutaneous Cochlear Implant Surgery: Initial Report

Objective: Percutaneous cochlear implant surgery consists of a single drill path from the lateral mastoid cortex to the cochlea via the facial recess. We sought to clinically validate this technique in patients undergoing traditional cochlear implant surgery.
