Do incidence and indications for revision cochlear implant surgery in adults and children?
Revision cochlear implant surgery is an infrequent occurrence. Its incidence appears to be higher in children than in adults, although in this series does not appear to be due to increased wound complications, infections, or trauma. Explanted implants that have soft failure as the etiology may have demonstrable defects on bench testing.
Location within the spine influences the strength of association between self reported health factors and vertebral deformity.
