RESUMEN
Since the introduction of bone-anchored hearing aids (BAHA) a few decades ago, their effectiveness has made the use of these devices a well-established method. The most common complications associated with BAHA are dermatological, so a lot of changes were introduced in the surgical technique to reduce the frequency of skin reactions. We have analyzed our experience in the management of the skin and soft tissues over 8 years' experience with BAHA. We present a new longitudinal incision with the fixture out of the incision.

Desde la introducción de las prótesis osteointegradas tipo BAHA (bone anchored hearing aid) hace unas décadas, su uso se ha generalizado por ser un método efectivo. Las complicaciones más frecuentes relacionadas con el BAHA son las dermatológicas, por lo que se han producido múltiples cambios en la técnica quirúrgica con el objetivo de disminuir su frecuencia. Hemos analizado el manejo de la piel y los tejidos blandos durante 8 años de experiencia con el BAHA. Presentamos una nueva incisión longitudinal con el implante situado fuera de ésta (AU)
