ABSTRACT
Due to a technical defect or a medical indication, it may be necessary to explant a cochlear implant. This case report shows that there is the risk of encountering a nonremovable electrode array-as described here from the scala tympani-during cochlear reimplantation. In the present case, insertion of a second electrode array into the free and nonobstructed scala vestibuli was successful. Nonetheless, the indication for reimplantation must be carefully considered, especially in patients with tolerable limitations with little or no loss of speech understanding. Furthermore, surgery should not be performed solely because an implant upgrade is desired.
