15. Cochlear Implantation in Far Advanced Otosclerosis: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis.

Author

Kondo, Mickey, Vasan, Kartik, Jufas, Nicholas Emmanuel, and Patel, Nirmal P.

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate speech outcomes and facial nerve stimulation (FNS) rates in patients with far advanced otosclerosis (FAO) after cochlear implantation. Methods: A systematic review was performed using standardized methodology of Medline, EMBASE, PubMed, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases. Studies were included if adults with FAO underwent cochlear implantation. Exclusion criteria included concurrent otologic history (e.g., Meniere's disease, superior canal dehiscence), non‐English‐speaking implant users, case reports, abstracts, and letters/commentaries. Bias was assessed using the Newcastle‐Ottawa Scale for cohort studies and the National Institute of Health Scale for case series. The primary outcome measure was speech discrimination and the secondary outcomes were rates of partial insertion and FNS. Results: Twenty‐seven studies evaluated cochlear implantation in FAO. Due to the heterogeneity of testing methods, statistical pooling of speech discrimination was not feasible, but qualitative synthesis indicated a positive effect of implantation. Pooled rates of FNS were 18% (95% confidence interval, CI 12%–27%) and the rate of partial insertion was 10% (95% CI 7%–15%). Conclusion: Cochlear implantation in FAO demonstrates significant gains in speech discrimination scores with higher rates of FNS and partial insertion.

Abstract

Objective: To investigate the incidence of middle ear cholesteatoma surgery and assess trends in mastoidectomy procedures in Australia. Study design: Cross‐sectional population‐based study using data from the National Hospital Morbidity Database. Methods: Admitted care episodes containing the principal diagnosis of middle ear cholesteatoma were analyzed for two 12‐month periods of 2007–2008 and 2017–2018. Surgical admissions involving mastoidectomy were identified by procedure codes. Incidence rate per 100,000 person‐years were compared between study periods. Results: Of the 3855 middle ear cholesteatoma admissions, 3558 (92.3%) involved surgery, with the incidence rate for cholesteatoma surgical admissions estimated at 8.6 per 100,000 (95% CI: 8.2–9.0) and 8.1 per 100,000 (95% CI: 7.7–8.5) for 2017–2018 and 2007–2008, respectively. Population aged 10–19 years had the highest age‐specific incidence rate at 12.5 per 100,000 (95% CI: 11.3–13.9) for 2017–2018. The 60 years and over age groups had the highest decennial percentage increase. Mastoidectomy procedures were consistently used in over half of all surgical admissions. An increase in the rate of canal wall up (CWU) mastoidectomy procedure related admissions was observed (rate ratio of 1.62 [95%CI: 1.41–1.86], P <.001) and was offset by a decreased rate of canal wall down (CWD) procedure associated admissions (0.69 [95% CI: 0.61–0.78], P <.001]). Conclusions: The incidence rate of cholesteatoma surgery in Australia is estimated at 8.6 per 100,000. Mastoidectomy continues to play an essential role in cholesteatoma surgery with a trend favoring CWU over CWD mastoidectomy. Level of evidence: 4 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

48. Ear to stay.

Author

JUFAS, NICHOLAS and PATEL, NIRMAL

Abstract

This article discusses how break-throughs in endoscopic surgery techniques provide useful new options for otology patients. A newer, smaller 3mm endoscope has been developed. Normal cameras have been replaced with triple charge-coupled device cameras. High-definition video facilitates clearer pictures and improved image magnification.
