Cochlear implant surgery by the Veria technique: Experience from 2000 cases
T
he Veria technique for cochlear implantation is a non mastoidectomy technique which is done through the endaural
route for the cochleostomy with a transcanal tunnel drilled in the posterior canal wall. This technique has been used for
implanting in more than 2000 cases. This technique uses a specially designed perforator to make the tunnel in the posterior
canal wall. Though the conventional techniques has been successful it is more time consuming and is prone to various
complications especially in children with small facial recess, cochlear malformations and cochlear rotation. This technique
is simple, helps in faster healing and earlier fitting of the processor, is precise thereby minimising trauma to the facial nerve.
The surgery can be performed in infants who have not yet developed the mastoid completely. This technique can be applied
in difficult cases of common cavity, ossified cochlea, cochlear hypoplasia, otosclerosis, high jugular bulb, rotated cochlea with
great ease and minimal difficulty.
