Greetings, ENT colleagues!
We are pleased to announce the addition of an exciting new video to the growing collection of surgeries in the App SurgSchool. This time, we present the complete surgery of a transcutaneous bone conduction implant performed by the expert ENT surgeon, the Dr. Miguel Arístegui.
Patient Context:
The patient, who had previously undergone surgery for a fairly large acoustic neuroma, had cophosis in the left ear. Bone resection became a crucial element in addressing hearing loss, and the Dr. Arístegui opted to apply an innovative bone bridge as a transcutaneous bone conduction implant.
Detailed Procedure:
The surgery, which is carried out without cuts and has a total duration of 43 minutes, involves the strategic placement of the implant to transmit the sound to the contralateral side, following the indication of single-sided defense.
During the procedure, significant bone resection is performed to ensure proper integration of the implant. Additionally, the need for elevation is addressed through the use of lifts, providing a complete and personalized solution for the patient.
Innovation and Technology:
Dr. Arístegui highlights the use of BCMFT (Floating Mass Transducer) technology to move the floating mass effectively and transmit sound through the screws. This simple mechanical approach proves to be a valuable option for addressing hearing loss in specific cases.
Availability and Access:
The full video, available in Spanish and English, is at App SurgSchool. You can access it by registering in the App SurgSchool and once inside, you will easily find it in the "Latest Videos" section or explore the subspecialty of Otology.
