Objective: To describe a simple technique for implant receiver/stimulator (ICS) fixation that uses a seat for the device and suture fixation through the native cranial periosteum. This technique has been used through minimal-access surgical techniques in children since 2003.
Patients: One hundred sixty pediatric cochlear implant recipients.
Intervention: Implantation using the described technique for ICS fixation.
Main Outcome Measure: Postoperative complications related to ICS fixation.
Results: No complications have been observed.
Conclusion: This report describes a simple and effective technique to secure the ICS package for pediatric cochlear implant surgery.
