Abstract

There is theoretically no major surgical problem for implantation. The basic techniques all include on an approach through the windows. The authors describe a solution (which has already been used previously) for cophotic hollowing-out cavities, with a suprapetrosal way and an approach on the hidden aspect of the cochlea. The transcutaneous passage can be displaced from the ear lobe to a depression of the auricle.
