ABSTRACT

Cochlear implants have successfully improved hearing in severe and profoundly deaf patients in addition to improving their quality of life. Implant extrusion and wound infection of a cochlear implant are one of the most common postoperative complications, although it does not occur frequently (1.5%-5% of cases).1,2 We present a case of an extruding coch lear implant with dehiscence that was successfully reimplanted, a procedure of which there have been few previous reports in the literature.
