Скачать или смотреть Dr. Shree Rao Explains: Is Cochlear Implant Surgery a Brain Surgery? Myths vs. Reality!

Is Cochlear Implant Surgery a Brain Surgery

Many people believe that cochlear implant surgery is a type of brain surgery, but that is not true. A cochlear implant consists of both external and internal components. The internal component is placed under the skin behind the ear, and the electrode array, which is a thin wire, is inserted into the cochlea, not the brain.

Can Cochlear Implants Cause Brain Infections

While the surgery itself does not affect the brain, infection risks can arise if proper hygiene and surgical standards are not maintained. Factors like:

Non sterile operation theaters

Poor hygiene practices, especially in children

Lack of proper vaccinations

can increase the risk of infection, including brain infections like meningitis.

How to Prevent Infections

Choose a hospital with sterile and laminar flow operation theaters

Get meningococcal and pneumococcal vaccinations before surgery

Follow strict pre operative and post operative safety measures

Take a follow up vaccination after six weeks of surgery

This is why cochlear implant surgery should only be done in well equipped hospitals with proper hygiene and surgical standards. Do not fall for myths. Stay informed and choose the best care for a safe and successful surgery.
