Summary

Over the last few decades, the classical two-stage surgical procedure for inserting bone-anchored hearing implants (BAHIs) has been modified in adults into a single-stage procedure. This approach has several advantages since it avoids a second surgical procedure. The single-stage approach is proven to be safe and feasible in adults and is nowadays referred to as the standard surgical technique in adults. Despite favorable outcomes and advantages of the single-stage surgery, most Ear Nose Throat (ENT) surgeons still perform two-stage surgery when inserting BAHI in the pediatric population. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare implant loss between single-stage BAHI surgery and two-stage BAHI surgery in children aged 4 to 9 years.

Conditions

  • Hearing Impairment, Conductive
  • Hearing Impaired Children

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Single-stage surgery

In the test group, patients will be scheduled for bone-anchored hearing implant surgery using the single-stage procedure. The implant and abutment will be placed in one surgery.

OTHER
