          SUMMARY

          Objectives

          To evaluate mean surgical time, incidence of soft tissue reactions, implant survival and intraoperative complications in both minimally invasive ponto surgery (MIPS) and the linear incision with tissue preservation technique (LT).

          Methods

          A retrospective review was carried out on 48 bone anchored hearing system (BAHS) patients between 2014 and 2019: 13 patients had undergone LT and formed one group, while 35 patients had undergone MIPS and formed the second group. Mean surgical time, intraoperative complications, implant loss and skin reaction were assessed at each post-operative examination. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for statistical analysis.

          Results

          The difference in the mean surgical time of 15 mins for MIPS and 36 mins for LT was statistically significant. No intraoperative complications were reported and implant survival was 100% in both groups. The incidence of adverse skin reactions was 7.7% for the LT group and 0% for the MIPS group at first follow-up examination.

          Conclusions

          Surgical mean time is shorter for MIPS, making this procedure more suitable for local anaesthesia and more cost effective. Moreover, both LT and MIPS demonstrate good surgical outcomes in terms of skin reactions according to Holgers score and equally excellent implant survival.

          RIASSUNTO

          Obiettivo

          Confrontare la tecnica dell’incisione lineare con conservazione del tessuto sottocutaneo (LT) e la tecnica MIPS valutando le differenze nella durata della chirurgia, l’incidenza delle reazioni cutanee avverse, la perdita dell’impianto e le complicanze intraoperatorie.

          Metodi

          Presso il nostro centro di Audiologia tra il 2014 e 2019 sono stati sottoposti ad intervento chirurgico per l’applicazione di BAHS 48 pazienti: 13 pazienti mediante LT e 35 pazienti mediante MIPS.

          Risultati

          La durata media della chirurgia è stata di 15 minuti per la tecnica MIPS e 36 minuti per la LT con una differenza statisticamente significativa. Non sono state riscontrate complicanze intraoperatorie, la perdita dell’impianto è stata dello 0% in entrambi i gruppi. L’incidenza di reazioni avverse cutanee è stata del 7,7% per il gruppo LT e dello 0% per il gruppo MIPS alla prima visita post-operatoria.

          Conclusioni

          La durata dell’intervento chirurgico è più breve per la MIPS rispetto alla tecnica LT, rendendo questa procedura più adatta all’anestesia locale e più vantaggiosa in termini di costi sanitari. Inoltre, sia la LT che la MIPS mostrano buoni risultati chirurgici per quanto riguarda la riduzione delle reazioni cutanee avverse, le complicanze intraoperatorie e la perdita dell’impianto.

          Soft tissue reactions around percutaneous implants: a clinical study of soft tissue conditions around skin-penetrating titanium implants for bone-anchored hearing aids.

          Some patients with hearing impairment cannot use conventional hearing aids. One solution for these patients is the use of bone conduction hearing aids; however, this kind of equipment is associated with several problems related to the necessity for a good contact between the transducer and the temporal bone. Direct bone contact would be an ideal solution provided that safe and reaction-free skin penetration and a safe and permanent bone anchorage could be achieved. Brånemark et al have developed a procedure to furnish edentulous patients with fixed bridges using titanium implants. This report is focused on the clinical status of the soft tissue adjacent to the 67 skin-penetrating devices in 60 patients. The patients have been followed between 3 and 96 months on 313 occasions, which represents a total observation time of 1515 months of clinical performance. Only one implant was extracted due to adverse skin reaction, giving a failure rate of 0.07% per month. This is comparable with the failure rate of cardiac pacemakers 0.02-0.04% per month).

            Acoustic and physiologic aspects of bone conduction hearing.

            Bone conduction (BC) is the way sound energy is transmitted by the skull bones to the cochlea causing a sound perception. Even if the BC sound transmission involves several pathways including sound pressure induced in the ear canal, inertial forces acting on the middle ear ossicles and cochlear fluids, alteration of the cochlear space, and pressure transmission through the 3rd window of the cochlea, the BC sound ultimately produces a wave motion on the basilar membrane similar to that of air-conducted sound. The efficiency of the BC stimulation is largely dependent on the skull bone where the skull acts as a rigid body at low frequencies and incorporates different types of wave transmission at higher frequencies. The interaural stimulation difference is determined by the difference between contralateral and ipsilateral BC sound transmission: the transcranial BC sound transmission. To benefit from binaural processing, the transcranial transmission should be low, while the same should be high when using BC hearing aids for unilateral deaf subjects. By appropriately positioning the stimulation, high or low transcranial transmission can be achieved.

              Outcome of the bone-anchored hearing aid procedure without skin thinning: a prospective clinical trial.

              To evaluate the outcome of Bone-Anchored Hearing Aid surgery without skin thinning, a test group with direct implantation without such thinning was compared with a control group that underwent the traditional procedure.
